I still own a 13-inch MacBook Pro 2019 with the Touch Bar, and I believe it’s the last Intel-based model. What a nightmare. ‘Mad hot’ even on… just being alive.

...that assumes LLMs will contribute garbage code in the first place. Will they, though?

That probably depends on how good 2026-era LLMs already are. But I hope you’re right, and that pre-AI devs will still make a real difference.

> but I don't really know how effective new juniors are going to be. True. Pretty soon, pre-AI devs may be the COBOL/Fortran engineers of this era: niche and hard to replace.

No need to hope; it is inevitable.

In UI, I’m pretty sure that replacement is already here. We’ll be lucky if at least backend stays a place where people still care about the actual source.

LLMs really are stunningly good at finding vulnerabilities in code, which is why, with closed-source code, you can and probably will use them to make your code as secure as possible. But you won't keep the doors open for others to use

Right. In trying to become everything, it stopped being the cheap little computer people loved in the first place!

There might be room in orbit for everyone, but not in the night sky without ruining observation, I’m afraid.
