AI Writes the Code. So What's Left for Engineers? - Laurie Voss, Arize AI

• Laurie Voss, npm co-founder and head of developer relations at Arize AI, argues coding agents made writing code nearly free, so the bottleneck moved to code review and next to operations and security.
• One section of Voss's talk is titled "8x more code, only 30% faster shipping"; he also asks whether machines can do code review and applies the theory of constraints to where the bottleneck goes.
• Voss says what agents can't take over is finding out what people need and defining what "good" means; he calls the role that remains the product engineer and looks at data on collapsing junior hiring.
