Prediction: coding will surpass all humans within 4-6 months, making engineering experience worth zero
morganb · x · 2026-09-28
- A developer predicts the concept of "SWE" will be obsolete within 4 months (at most 6).
- Claims AI coding ability will for the first time exceed that of any human, such that any human opinion beyond the initial prompt only makes things worse.
- Engineering discipline will carry no value; the L8-vs-L3 gap won't be about engineering knowledge.
- What still matters: the cost of intelligence will lag capability, keeping access uneven.
- The reposter adds: "Growth is a search problem."
