Disagree. The only part an AI can't do is the people aligning and box drawing. The implementation part is trivial. That's who will get replaced.
Meta: This is a topic I'm very interested in reading about. Does anyone know where people can talk about how AI is changing how people in large orgs work.
I don't mean in a forum where everyone bashes AI, but actually discusses how to navigate this?
It's not here at HN.

I assume that the demand will change. Say, a new generation of companies to replace the old. Besides, those who do have practical experience on building AI-native applications or building AI infra may be in higher demand as well. That is, maybe our experience will become not as valuable as before, therefore we'd need to refresh our experience with a different pace.
arguably the meeting overhead is actually just people trading domain knowledge. an ai agent can go read their whole code base instead of having that meeting. its not clear how all this shakes out
I would say in addition to domain knowledge, it's also about intent. Code does not capture intent, it usually doesn't include the "why" just the "how".
I argue you still need communication for the "why" to get to the "how", otherwise you will just get the wrong thing.
