The rapid advancement of AI, particularly large language models like OpenAI's GPT-5.6 and tools such as Claude Code, is fundamentally altering the landscape for software developers. While these models have evolved from basic coding assistance to more autonomous agents in just a few years, their increasing capabilities raise questions about the future necessity of large development teams. The author speculates that companies might eventually require only a small core team to manage and integrate AI models, potentially diminishing the value of traditional software engineering skills and prompting a shift towards roles like developer advocacy or even non-technical positions.
