What They Said

“everyone should probably take a chill pill… because I don't think that anyone will be out of a job anytime soon as software developers. I think the term that coding is solved is absolutely wrong.” — Ola Hast, The InfoQ Podcast

Asked to predict how software engineering changes from here, Hast first rejected the comparison between an LLM and a car-welding robot, on the grounds that one is deterministic and the other is not. The advice to calm down comes from a team that uses Claude daily and had spent the episode explaining why they went back to writing code by hand. He followed it by arguing that token prices are still subsidised and that the economics have to change before the tools do.
