A lot of that time not coding isn't necessary for everyone. Copilot lets more experienced devs focus on architecture and optimization without needing as many junior devs to help. Other AI tools are accelerating the career development of junior devs. I think the end result is smaller eng teams doing more.

No doubt that's the future but don't think it happened yet as it's often depicted. If it did, I'm curious to learn the exact workflow. Anecdotally, I know a few friends said they don't need as many eng anymore, but once asked for details, they hired an excess amount of eng over the past few years vs AI.
