Boris Cherny, Anthropic's Claude Code founder, declares coding "practically solved" by AI, predicting the "software engineer" title fades by 2026. Engineers evolve into generalists writing specs, engaging users, and reviewing agent-generated code. Startups use full agent workflows; teams include non-coders coding via AI. Shifts bring productivity but risks like atrophy and fatigue, redefining roles across industries.

The Junior Developer role is disappearing as AI handles entry-level tasks like unit tests and JSON schemas faster and cheaper than humans. This removes crucial learning opportunities where juniors gain codebase knowledge and debugging skills through grunt work. Seniors emerge from repeated production failures, not tutorials. Vibe coding with AI creates ununderstood codebases. Result: barbell workforce of experienced seniors using AI and prompt-only users lacking fundamentals. Solution: hire juniors to audit AI output via forensic coding.

Derek Thompson argues AI is vital yet bubbly: $400B annual infrastructure spend rivals Apollo, but consumer revenue only $12B. Like railroads/broadband, expect crash before transformation. Momentum drives stocks, hyperscalers use tricks/SPVs to inflate profits. Data centers warp economy, divert capital from manufacturing. Energy NIMBYism pushes offshoring. Prediction: black hole sucks resources until ROI materializes or bubble pops.
