My bet is that these companies are either:
1. In the business of trying to automate other jobs. The number of startups in this space is stupefying, so I'm sure more established companies with VC cash want a slice.
2. Leveraging AI to accelerate growth as much as possible because that's their mandate.
What's scary is that hiring across the rest of adopters (most employment) has remained stagnant. So what happens during the next recession?
As things settle, if they can sit you in front of AI coding agent so you can achieve any better result than AI prompting itself, you are going to have work.
This is the most relevant bit for me. Thank you for sharing.
