I think it’s more useful to look at the tasks models haven’t gotten better at over time, and the tasks that are hard for them get better at in principle. The two best examples of these are:
- Deep familiarity with the codebase
- Technical communication

Yeah, I didn’t mean to say “engineers jobs will go away.” I ADHDed mid-thought, posted, and walked away stoned. That was supposed to be about executives, and the comment is now edited appropriately.
Does that change your thoughts?
The growth-curve of these machines’ utility is actually exponential, given rich enough data. That we’ve come this far says we might not have plateau-ed yet. However, this changes Engineers’ work to be PAINFULLY tedious, and we’ve got an unprecedented burnout rate as a result. We need a new way forward that isn’t this.
