software engineer

“Most of the software engineers in the world and most of the code-written in the world actually goes towards these internal facing applications.”

“The metaphor here is that you don't need to be digging down into like this sort of PyTorch level if you don't want to in the same way as a software engineer in the nineties. You don't need to be like understanding how network stacks work to be able to build a …”

“The real gap is that software engineers who have a particular way of thinking, a particular set of biases, a particular type of workflow that they run, are going to be the ones who are doing AI engineering, and that the tools that were built for ML are fantast…”

“I think so I'm actually bullish on engineers in terms of their kind of long-term economic value. Not despite all the movements in Cogen and all the things that we're, you know, already seeing, but because of it because what's going to happen as a result of…”

“I expect that a lot more people are going to start doing things like this, like writing your own libraries or just shipping every feature.”

“I think right now the average software engineer is probably spending like 10 or 20% of the time on that first thinking part and they're spending 80 or 90% of the time on that implementation part.”

“In the year 2000, there were less than a million software engineers in the world. And, you know, this was whole dot com era, like, you know, a lot of software was being built. But now in the year 2025 today, there's actually over thirty million software engine…”

“I don't really Buy this, like, you know, that we're not gonna hire more software engineers story. I think, like, for a few reasons I mean, this is an example that, that often comes up, but is it, like, kind of the elasticity of the demand for software?”

“These things are not like going to replace one person as it is, but more like a passive aura that buffs everybody.”

“I would claim by now, good model writes code on average with fewer bugs than average human.”

“The stuff that we're doing as software engineers now is like, we seem to be a step ahead of everyone else, because we're able to work in a domain where AI is actually producing quality stuff.”
