>We will probably see fewer full-stack engineer openings and more roles for back-end and front-end engineers. This doesn't mean they will do only one or the other, but they will be expected to be an expert in one area.

Good. Fullstack roles are like giving away free options contracts away to businesses when they were only buying some stock. Sure, you don't work twice as much as fullstack and shouldn't get twice the pay, but the flexibility should have a price.

When fullstack engineers are making just as much as front-end/backend only engineers, they are giving the options away for free. Engineers simply didn't stand up for themselves to assert their worth in these positions, which led companies to prioritize hiring them over specialists. Any decrease in fullstack positions will help our compensation.

"Product and design are the new bottlenecks"

Yup, so far the LLMs just haven't been as great at product and design as us. But they'll get there.

i'm betting on the "personal pan pizza team" -> won't be long until we have a 1-person $1B company

I can eat half a pizza pretty easily.

So one person? Or am I just fat?

> In most teams, coding - reading, writing, and debugging code - used to be the part that took engineers the most time, but that is no longer the bottleneck.

This is just a blatant lie lmao, this is the core tenant that all these AI takes rely on and it is just flat out not true.

even this is an intermediary stage

as elon musk said, the next phase is 100% AI run companies, any sort of a human in a loop, even if in a minimal role, will collapse the productivity
