I've spoken to two friends recently, who are just normal (but highly skilled) devs, and they both said they don't write code any more.
That's about as random a sample as I can get. These aren't Anthropic employees on Twitter. Just normal people.
So if you think AI isn't revolutionising how software is made then I'm afraid you're in the "it's just Apple fanboys buying the iPhone; Nokia forever!" stage of denial.
I also knew people who built blockchain apps.
Not sure how that's relevant but good for you.
