I say 3 years before SWEs have NO JOB lol (Blind)

Before AGI is achieved, and while AI gets better, plenty of SWEs will be needed. Much less than before, yes, but plenty because you can’t 1 shot prompt software.

Companies will make more products, more engineers will be needed to make more products. 5 engineers making V1 of a product goes down to 1 engineer. Scale the math. Multiply total number of products. Things will get more competitive making our lives painful.
