Brief
@levie argues agents will massively expand the amount of software (about 100×), not eliminate developer roles: agents will automate work across apps, legacy systems, SMBs, security, IT automation and data, but each agent requires a technical person to kick off, manage, orchestrate, and make outputs useful—creating large opportunities. Shay Boloor cites the AWS CEO saying Amazon still hires many developers and agents are “exploding.”
Why it matters
@levie (2026-04-29) asserts software jobs aren’t going away and calls agents “the single biggest form of leverage” for anyone technical, claiming it’s the best time to be technical to accomplish work solo, on teams, or at companies.
Key details
- He predicts we are about to see ~100X more software as agents drive work across apps, legacy on‑prem replatforming, SMB digitization, security patching, IT automation, and data processing/integration.
- Shay Boloor quotes the AWS CEO saying Amazon is hiring as many developers as ever and that AI agents are “exploding” across industries; Levie argues each agent will still need a technical person to start, manage, orchestrate, and integrate results.
