We won't be programmers in this scenario.

The results will hopefully be a lot more tangible.

This also was true for teams, and indeed, businesses. It's not a property of the code itself, its a property of products and outcomes. I don't think AI agents doing the day to day changes will affect this directly (but people may have more time to think about these higher level problems, and increased volume of changes may make the issue more important)

		I agree. I suppose, my best guess is that a team will be reduced to one or two people; the those that are left will be judged solely on outcomes. Two (human) brains are always useful; the benefit of a human in these scenarios is that we can be accountable, and that we have a very real incentive to do well and not be fired. The LLM obviously doesn't care in that regard!
