“ In some countries, more than 90% of the population lives on less than $5 per day. If agentic AI code generation becomes the most effective way to write high-quality code, this will create a massive barrier to entry”

You comment is talking about ability to build software, vs. the article (in only a single sentence that references this topic, while the other 99% circles around something else) talks about the job market situation. If what you wanted so say "The author is arguing that people will probably have a harder time getting a job in software development", that would have been correct.
> That's the opposite of what's happened over the past year or two. Now many more non-technical people can (and are) building software.
You're (based on the new comment) explicitly saying that people without technical knowledge are getting jobs in software development sector. Where did you get that info from? Would be an interesting read for sure, if it's actually true.
