I think the author underestimate the forces that introduce coordination overhead.

"Good AI developers" are a mystery being (not really, but for corporate they are). Right now, companies are trying to measure them to understand what makes them tick.

Once that is measured, I can assure you that the next step is trying to control their output, which will inevitably kill their productivity.

See what I mean?

"If only we could make them work to solve our problems..."

You can! But that implies additional coordination overhead, which means they'll not be as productive as they were.

> Your job is going to change

My job changes all the time. Developers are ready for this. They were born of change, molded by it. You know what hasn't caught up with the changes?
