In this video, Nicolas Cole challenges the common narrative that AI will eliminate software‑developer jobs. He points to a recent report and chart that show software‑engineer job postings rising sharply—almost parabolic—as the cost of building and shipping software drops toward zero. Cole argues that when the barrier to entry is lowered, more companies will attempt to ship software, creating a surge in demand for engineers rather than a decline. The core message is that AI democratizes software creation, leading to more, not fewer, software‑engineering opportunities.

all this talk about how AI is ruining white-collar jobs and how software developers are out of a job because now all the companies just use AI to write the code. And I saw this fascinating report and chart come out that showed that job postings for software engineers are starting to go parabolic. Because what happens is when the barrier to entry to shipping software goes down to nearly zero, what does that mean? That means that more companies want to ship more software. All that's gonna happen here is it's just gonna mean everyone's gonna wanna do this. And everyone can do it.
