AI Engineer Melbourne 2026 Keynote Livestream | Day 1
AI-written code is rising from ~10% today toward 40-50% by year-end, and AI is increasingly the harness, not just the model
“this is my argument around why AI engineering will be the last job, why you guys all have job security and why you guys will take over the world”
An AI Engineer Melbourne 2026 keynote frames six themes, arguing AI value is shifting beyond models to the surrounding harness, services, and data, and citing Claude Code's share of GitHub commits rising from ~4-5% in February toward a projected 40-50% by year-end. The speaker invokes Jevons paradox to claim AI engineering will be 'the last job,' but the figures are anecdotal projections rather than verified research.
