Netlify CEO Matt Biilmann on software development going from being a job to being a baseline skill: "Today you’re either a developer or not." "I think software development will just be a skill." "Just like with writing, there will still be professional writers, but all of us also have to know how to write as part of our jobs." "There'll still be some expert developers... but it’ll be the minority." Matt Biilmann Netlify martin_casado

Geoffrey Hinton says that in 2026, AI will gain the capability to replace many jobs Every 7 months, AI doubles the length of tasks it can handle. It went from 1-minute coding to hour-long projects Soon, it'll manage month-long software engineering tasks "then few people will be needed for SWE projects"

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev's hot take about jobs in the AI era: "There will be more software engineers in 10 years than there are today, and there will be more lawyers." "It's going to become much easier to start a venture and run it autonomously." "You'll be a software engineer, de facto. You've got your Claude Code agents writing code for you." "There will be more businesses." "The need for the legal profession actually scales with business activity." "If you have a million businesses incremental per year, each of those is going to need legal support." Vlad Tenev on Basis Points with amit and Steven Fiorillo

Dario Amodei says software engineering might get disrupted faster than entry-level white-collar jobs We are currently in a "centaur phase" — managing AI systems rather than writing code, which may briefly increase demand for engineers "but the centaur phase for software may be very brief"

Coding agents are no longer a distant idea—they're already starting to reshape how we work. YC's Tom Blomfield (Tom Blomfield) and David Lieb (David Lieb) discuss how AI coding tools are transforming software development, why small, high-agency teams will be able to do what once took armies of engineers, and why there's never been a better time to start something new. They explore the bigger picture too: a future where there's more abundance, knowledge work becomes more accessible, and founders have more leverage than ever before. If you're thinking about building, there's no better moment than right now. 0:00 - Intro 0:46 - The combine harvester argument for AI 02:23 - Building with no-code tools 5:37 - The arguments against AI coding 7:01 - Jevons Paradox 9:26 - What happens to the software jobs of today? 12:16 - How will these tools affect knowledge work? 15:08 - An abundant future 16:21 - Advice for future founders

🚨 DAVID SACKS: “Anthropic has a job listing for a software engineer on their website right now for $570,000 … So what Anthropic is saying is they're still trying to hire software engineers, at a very high wage, but somehow they think these jobs are going to be eliminated.”

Sam Altman says AI will replace many phone- and computer-based customer support jobs Roles that require human connection, like nursing, will remain safe The biggest uncertainty is programmers and software engineers, because AI makes them far more productive, So whether that leads to more or fewer jobs in 5-10 years is unclear
