Max Levchin says software engineers are becoming software sculptors. LLMs can write the code, but your job is the conversation with the machine. That still takes taste.

Jensen Huang says AI didn't just revive San Francisco -- it rewrote the entire software stack. “What used to be human-coded software running on CPUs are now machine learning–generated software running on GPUs.” AI isn't just a tool. It's the substrate civilization will run on.

Yann LeCun says LLMs are strongest in domains where language itself is the substrate of reasoning, like math and code They can solve problems, prove theorems, and write programs — but they are not creative mathematicians, software architects, or computer scientists "their role is to help humans build"

Sarah Friar says OpenAI are working on "newly minted [agentic] software engineers" -- as capable as any MIT or Stanford grad. But it won’t stop at code. Agents may already be surfacing theorems no human ever proved.

Parker Conrad on AI’s Role in B2B Software "The fact that these systems can read and the context windows are so large is much more powerful for B2B software than the fact that they can write. 'Generative AI' is a misnomer. It's the ability to ingest all of this information." Parker Conrad in conversation with Y Combinator's Garry Tan

For 20 years software had a stable playbook. Need reliability? Here are five ways to write tests. Now that writing code is nearly free, the engineers best at that playbook turn to it, and it's blank.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On the Jevons paradox and software demand expansion, Neelkanth Mishra, Executive Director Designate of the World Bank, says, “…If you think about what the major cost of a software firm is, it is people. So, if the writing of software is getting automated, those firms will be the first to make adjustments. But on the whole, it seems that the Jevons paradox—which dictates that as the cost of writing software falls, the amount of software written goes up—is actually playing out. If an XYZ company, which is a product company, was spending, say, $100 million on writing software and can now do it for $70 million, they might need to lay off some people; that is their business priority. But if the amount of software written goes up three to four times, the number of software engineers in the ecosystem will not change… This panic and paranoia about massive job losses is something that I think is, at this stage, unfounded.”

Jensen Huang says we’ve passed the point of no return. “Software is not just a tool. Now software uses tools.” For the first time, intelligence is generated in real time as tokens. Now that it’s profitable, the only option is to scale. “We just have to make more of it.”

Prof. David Krakauer says intelligence is not knowledge. True intelligence is doing more with less. Solving problems without knowing everything. LLMs do the opposite. They do more with more. LLMs are libraries that know everything.

Stephen Balaban says generating human code doesn't even make sense anymore. Software won't get written. It'll be prompted into existence and "behave like code." This is neural software: Every pixel generated, not rendered. Every function summoned. It'll feel like Star Trek.

LIGHTS OUT! That is the future of software factories says Matt Van Horn. The rules: no code to be written by humans, no code to be reviewed by humans. PERIOD! How long before we have software companies with human OUT of the loop?

YC's Diana Hu: 'Good Enough' vs. Top 1% Software of Engineers "There's going to be a generation of software engineers that are good enough because it's so easy to retool there with code gen tools. The barrier to enter is so low. But to be exceptional, like the top 1%, you're going to need to get into deliberate practice." Diana on Y Combinator's Lightcone Podcast

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang just called the idea of AI replacing software engineers "complete nonsense" "The number of software engineers is actually increasing... if you can hire a software engineer and generate $9 trillion worth of productive work, why wouldn't you want to hire more? If that line were flat, then obviously people would hire fewer software engineers. But because the output is so incredible, people want to hire more This is going to show up in our economy somehow, soon. Useful AI has arrived"
