Regarding the popular belief that AI will take jobs... If 10 (or 2 or 20...) developers can be replaced by 1 dev using AI, why fire 9 (or 1 or 19) of them when your competitors now could be 10X (or 2X or 20X) more productive by giving AI tools to their 10 (or 2 or 20...) devs?

If you own an organization and can afford to pay the salaries of 10 (or 2 or 20...) souls, you'd have to be very cheap and short-sighted to prefer reducing your payroll instead of boosting your productivity 10X (or 2X or 20X).

I don't see AI taking jobs, I see AI:

- Taking companies/organizations owned by cheap people.

- Taking huge projects ―like building a browser or an OS from scratch― to small groups or even solo developers.

We see the opposite happening with companies getting rid of employees and pouring ever penny into AI not to get left behind in the race.
