20% of the workforce is currently being utilised for testing purposes by various companies. (just like we deploy Canary to 10% traffic for test)

In reality, approximately 5-10% of the workforce is equipped with AI technology and can now autonomously manage the entire company.

I am pretty sure CEOs can already see it! Companies create a great deal about the revenue per employee.

Downvoting my statement will not alter the situation, Claude and GPT-5.5 have the potential to replace most system administrators, DevOps engineers, copywriters, support personnel, and other roles.

I have observed this phenomenon in private product companies in India, where I serve as a consultant to multiple companies. I have noticed that 5-10% of the workforce is sufficient to ensure the continued performance of products, with reduced communication overhead, faster updates, and improved reliability.

I also have several side projects that encompass a wide range of responsibilities, so I am not merely a passive executive role.

In India, it has become increasingly challenging to secure jobs in the DevOps, system administration, and frontend domains.

In my opinion, a backend engineer’s job is the most difficult to replace at present, particularly if that engineer possesses a deep understanding of market and product dynamics.
