1 year: A “Challenger disaster” for coding agent security
1 year: Kākāpō parrots will have an outstanding breeding season
3 years: the coding agents Jevons paradox for software engineering will resolve, one way or the other
3 years: Someone will build a new browser using mainly AI-assisted coding and it won’t even be a surprise
6 years: Typing code by hand will go the way of punch cards
