This will be a controversial opinion but I honestly believe the barrier is too low. We don’t give doctors a 6 month bootcamp and say “hey, go operate on some people!” Yet you can get hired writing code that manages millions of dollars quite easily. This isn’t a call for increased credentialism (I’m a college dropout and very proud of it). It’s a call for higher standards for everyone. If you want to write code that’s awesome, but it shouldn’t be easy.

There will be plenty of work for non-AI devs for building stuff that hasn't been done before, but for stuff that's relatively old (building websites) AI is perfect

This is true but every project devolves into something unique/unplanned

Let me give a tangible example. I needed to convert pictures into pixel art. I had to buy Adobe Illustrator $36/month to do this. It took 10 mins per image. With Cursor AI, I created a script in 30 seconds that automated that process away. It could handle 1,000s of images in minutes using open source python. However, Claude costs $20/month. So for $20 I created a script that removed my need for Adobe and could do it 1000x faster. All without writing a single line of code! This is a perfect use case for AI code. No maintenance needed. It’s one simple python file.
