Heavy Cope
partial_cope, copilot_fallacy
Writes, tests, and maintains code. AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) accelerate the displacement curve.
GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Devin, and Claude Code write production code. The profession's cope: 'AI is just a tool, developers are still needed.' This is true today. But the ratio shifts relentlessly -- where 10 developers were needed, 3 with AI do the same work. Then 1. The co-pilot trajectory ends at autopilot.
