How many times have the goal-posts shifted now?
Everyone is justifiably afraid of AI because it's pretty obvious that Claude Opus 4.5 level agents replace developers.

Is it though? I really don't see it. Replacing developers requires way more than writing the right code. I can agree it can replace junior to mid level engineers at some tasks, specifically in greenfield projects and popular stacks. And, don't get me wrong, it's very helpful even for senior engineers. But to "replace" those it will require some new iterations of "Opus 4.5".
