Tools like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex CLI have boosted my productivity massively. They already handle about 90% of the coding work, and I just step in to finish the last 10%. Every month they get better, maybe in a year it’s 95%, in two years 97%, in three years 98%. We can all see where this is going.

You are fortunate to have the pre-AI background experience to know how to recognize the 10%. People graduating college right now may never be so fortunate.

This doesn't just apply to software development - it applies across the board in any form of knowledge.

An example would be economics - an LLM can spit out a bunch of words about an economic model. But if you don't take the time to learn, visualise and understand it for yourself - it means nothing to you. And in that case, if you already possess mastery why would you waste your resources playing around with an inferior tool to you?

You wouldn't.
