Hi all, spending some much time with LLMs these days has me thinking about what happens when these systems actually become smarter than us (ik a controversial opinion for HackerNews). I wrote about what software engineering might look like in the coming decades.<p>The standard "AI automates X so humans do Y" framework breaks down when AI might excel at both. Instead, I propose four categories of post-AI jobs: owners, high-stakes adapters, low-stakes adapters, and mandated positions.<p>The post explores how traditional SWE roles will evolve into "SaaS Adapter" roles and what skills will be valuable during this transition.<p>P.S. If this sounds crazy given your experiences with LLMs, I have some relevant rebuttals/context in the post.
