We strip away the doomerism to look at the mechanics of the transition. We explore why generating a compiler isn't the same as maintaining a product, why "vibe coding" fails at scale, and why we might be hitting the diminishing returns of LLM scaling laws. The era of writing syntax is ending, replaced by an era of systems architecture, context engineering, and high-level judgment.
