A June 7 follow-up (78 points, 125 comments) argues LLMs commoditize software the way they gutted copywriting, supply rising faster than demand. The author rejects OOP comparisons and predicts finance, law, biology, and marketing follow as field-specific harnesses mature. The core claim is uncomfortable: even "AI-native engineers" eventually face commoditization if improvement continues. I don't fully buy it, taste and judgment have held value through every prior tooling shift. But I can't dismiss it either, and the honest answer is I don't know which way this breaks.
