The piece I think people are missing is for years the biggest bottle neck for development has been time. These services have just ripped apart the time barrier, and the industry is still trying to wrap their head around that.

To me the next obvious barrier will be size (context) barrier, and I can easily see a place for a human in that process. Sure, anyone can prompt an agent build a codebase, but as those code bases grow / evolve It's hard for me to believe a non-specialized person will be able to manage those projects.

edit: I had another thought after posting this. To all the smaller company devs just building and maintaining internal tools. Users always want more features. The difference is now you'll be able to deliver them.

The biggest disruption I'm seeing is in estimation. It's a skill developed with experience, and it just went poof

The biggest bottleneck to development has always been what is the right thing to work on, and how should that be accomplished via code.
