AI is, currently, coming not for the coders who made it but for the coders who didn't contribute to or ignored it. The foundation labs are all quite committed to recursive self-improvement of coding tools as a general research accelerant.
When I see how unsupervised LLMs struggle with coding tasks (see public PRs from Copilot on Microsoft codebases) I don't see how recursive self-improvement can lead to any actual improvement rather than the total opposite.
