So the Salesforce CEO just casually announced they don't need to hire engineers anymore because AI is doing all the work, while simultaneously their company is "making billions." Cool, cool. Nothing dystopian about that at all.
Here's the thing though: if AI is so productive that you don't need engineers, who exactly is building, maintaining, debugging, and updating these AI agents? Are they self-healing? Self-deploying? Writing their own unit tests and doing code reviews for each other? Because last time I checked, AI still hallucinates package names and suggests importing libraries that don't exist.
The irony is that companies like Salesforce probably have entire teams of engineers working overtime to keep these "autonomous" AI agents from going off the rails. But sure, engineers are "no longer required" – just like how we were all supposed to be replaced by low-code platforms five years ago. Spoiler alert: we're still here, fixing the mess those created.
