> Programming is a lot more accessible to a lot more people than five years ago. Someone who has never coded anything could sit in front of Claude and produce an entire app ready to be used today.

What happens when there is enormous amount of supply (software) and you're still not capturing the demand? It can be stuck onto less than 5 of the incumbent alternatives. It used to be 90% of tech startups failing it's now 98% and the competition is extremely fierce.

It's was never about the code in the first place.

The software needs to be scalable, and reliable before it can make serious money and it involves constant maintenance and someone to be accountable for that risk. So:

> Assuming software development becomes a commodity and the job becomes something like a fast food job where practically any adult who wants it can do it, what is your next move?

> Anthropic and OpenAI are working hard to redirect the salary you earn to themselves in the form of API costs...

This is now about risk and lets say anyone can use Claude to code which is fine, but I ask you:

Would you hire someone that has built systems before and knows what to build with Claude or a vibe coder with no experience that uses Claude to maintain your software?

Do you want a 1 million dollar incident (experienced software engineer) or a 1 billion dollar incident (vibe coder)?

The worst part is, this isn't theoretical as some companies are now risking their reputation for choosing the latter.
