Saw a post from an 8-year dev this week. He said any junior with an agent now matches his output, and he feels no pride left in it. It got huge, because a lot of people quietly feel the same.
I read it from the other side. I'm a designer, not an engineer. For years "can you build this" meant "find someone technical and pray they stay interested." Usually they didn't. AI took the thing that hurt that dev and handed it to me.
Same shift. Loss from one seat, freedom from another.
I'm shipping a Mac app solo right now, as someone who can't write a backend from scratch. Two years ago that was a joke.

When we first launched Murror, we measured success the way most AI products do: how much are users interacting with the AI? How long are the conversations? How many follow-up questions are they asking?
The numbers looked great. Users were writing long entries, the AI was generating thoughtful reflections, and people kept coming back. We were building the world's best journaling chatbot.
