1.”Writing software was never the hard part” - isn’t saying coding was easy. The comparison was against building a viable product. Doing business involves a whole lot more ambiguity than sitting in your room writing code. You could build anything and yet the hard part was building something that matters
2. >> Nobody knows how the AI revolution will play out in the end
I disagree with this statement as far as Software Engineering is concerned. We kinda know. Everyone uses an agent harness to code this days - the only real difference is in how - and that still sets developers apart but most are using similar tools.
This reads more and more like clickbait. Sorry. I always find posts like this outrageous but I suppose that was the author’s intent. Outrage will get you votes. Taking extreme positions in an argument will get you attention. Kuddos
