This AI Makes Developers More Powerful — and More Replaceable

Описание: Not in a hype-cycle way. In a “wait… this is doing real developer work” way.

In this video, I break down why Claude Opus 4.5 has a lot of software engineers quietly uneasy—and why this moment feels like a real inflection point for the dev job market.

We’re not talking about autocomplete or toy demos. We’re talking about:

Writing and refactoring real code

Understanding system intent, not just syntax

Handling tasks that used to require junior (and sometimes mid-level) engineers

I’ll walk through:

What Claude Opus 4.5 is actually good at (and where it still falls short)

Why this feels different from previous AI releases

Which types of developer roles are most exposed

How smart engineers, founders, and teams should be adapting now

This isn’t “AI will replace all devs.”
It’s more uncomfortable than that.

If you’re a software engineer, founder, or anyone building products for a living, you should probably pay attention.
