I think the majority of dev work will be gone. We already demonstrated just throwing more compute at it is leading to better and better results. We'll likely have advancements that make it so regular people that ask the right questions and are diligent can do end-to-end app creation and management. I think it's also likely that standardizations for security and account management and compliance will just become skills or other types of automations that the drastically more competent agents of 2027-2028 can simply utilize.

It is seeming less and less unlikely for this to happen.

So many businesses right now online you can simply have Claude Fable copy and implement in an hour. That'll probably scale up as well in the future. I just cloned Piano Marvel earlier today in an hour and added missing features that I really wanted on the site that aren't there.

I think society will be a lot crappier for people that don't already have assets and investments that outpace inflation.

"In fact, all evidence points to the contrary."

Um. No? I'd like to see how you conjured up that one. Because evidence does indeed point exactly to things just being as they are.

"You have objective value being made in the image of a personal God."

Conjecture. Unsubstantiated.

"Denying that leads to a lot of pain, namely nihilistic suffering because it's on you to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" in any endeavor involving your own self-worth."

No? Sounds like you're projecting your own belief here. "If I didn't believe in God, then what purpose is there to anything?" It's very small of a belief.

Where's Dang?

The amount of rule-breaking comments in this thread is pretty much out of control.

That's pretty funny considering the comments in this thread hahahaha

Notice the website url is the same name as the commentor.

Notice he's using "trust me bro" benchmarks.

Can we just remove all the motivated speech on HN? This is just not trustworthy information at all and obviously is incentivized.

Everyone is grinding and marketing nobody is actually discussing anything for real.
