Well, my comment was on the 100 years to replace programmers.

“in well under 100 years”

I don’t think AI will let programmers be anywhere close to 1,000x as productive in 10 years. That wouldn’t just need AGI but deep changes to how organizations function.

Hitting 100+x in 30 to 90 years is much harder to predict.
