I think the biggest shift is in predictability. Will something be done today, next week, or next month - nobody knows. Will we converge on a bug free state? not sure.

So far AI works great at fast moving work which you will probably recode or throw away in a month or two anyway (e.g. a startup) but is weak at maintaining a large code base that you rely on. At least part of this is cultural, as the cost of misalignments between team members can be quickly translated into broken software.

I don't disagree but

> Will we converge on a bug free state?

I have never witnessed this state in my two decades of software work. Why would we think AI will magically achieve this?
