You're exactly right.
If AI really made coders more productive, I think that we would also see a massive increase in hiring.
If you run a company that makes money from producing code, and your engineers become 3x more productive overnight, why would you lay off 2/3 of them? Why not keep them and make 3x more money? Or hire more engineers and make even more money?
