The post argues that software engineering will be fundamentally reinvented in the next decade as AI removes the scarcity of human coders and reviewers.
It frames the key question as not whether AI can help write code, but how responsibility should be transferred from humans to AI across the software development lifecycle. The author highlights open questions around human review becoming a bottleneck, what engineers should own, and how engineering orgs should evolve. It also asks what share of production code at leading tech companies will ship without human code review by the end of 2027.
