@interjc: Programmer jobs are booming again. Many bosses might be doing the math: an unlimited Claude subscription is way too expensive, might as well hire a human.
Summary
The tweet points out that although some believe AI will replace programmers, data shows demand for software engineers has actually surged. This may be because the cost of using AI (like Claude) is too high, prompting companies to prefer hiring human programmers.

柴郡🔔|Crypto+AI Plus (@0xCheshire): Here’s a counterintuitive thing:
Everyone thinks AI will eliminate a lot of programmers.
But the data shows that demand for software engineer positions is skyrocketing.
This might be the best proof of the Jevons paradox.

The article analyzes Anthropic's 400,000-session report on Claude Code, pointing out that AI programming tools are changing the division of labor between humans and AI. Domain knowledge is more important than coding ability. Expert users can enable AI to perform more complex tasks, while verification and task decomposition capabilities become core competitive advantages.

The article deeply analyzes the internal changes Anthropic faces as AI-generated code becomes extremely efficient: the bottleneck shifts from 'writing' to 'verification', traditional management, long-term planning, and effort measurement become ineffective, attention becomes the new scarce resource, and engineers even feel lonely. These phenomena foreshadow the challenges other companies may face in the future.
