Here's something worth pondering: the ancient Egyptians could construct the pyramids, yet they couldn't have built the Empire State Building. Why? Different constraints, different tools, different systems thinking.
The parallel is striking when you look at software engineering. For decades—really, since the 1970s—we've been incrementally iterating. Better languages, frameworks, methodologies... sure. But transformative? Order-of-magnitude improvements? Not quite.
Then AI arrived. And suddenly, the game changed.
What we're witnessing isn't just another technology cycle. It's a fundamental shift in how we architect solutions, how we solve complex systems problems, how we scale development itself. The tooling landscape is getting rewritten in real time.
The systems thinkers in our space have been calling this for a while. They were right. We're in that rare moment where the entire trajectory of an industry gets redirected. The ceiling that seemed fixed is getting shattered.
It's a remarkable time to be building.
I believe AI will change software engineering, but saying "the ceiling has been broken" is too absolute—every turning point in history has been described that way.
The real test is how many people will still be hyping this up three years from now.
After talking for so long, someone finally admits that the first fifty years of software engineering were just superficial improvements. Haha.
Heard a lot about the ceiling breaking and all, but the key is who can capitalize on the first-mover advantage.
Wait, this logic might be the same old VC fundraising tactic again...
If you really want to build something like the Empire State Building, just AI tools are not enough; human thinking can't keep up.
Since AI arrived, the entire development ecosystem is really changing; it's not hype, it's genuinely rewriting the rules.
By the way, those who understand systems thinking saw this coming a long time ago. Now it's our turn, us coders, to witness history haha.
Really, since AI arrived, the whole feeling has changed.
The previous 50 years of iteration were truly stagnant... now the ceiling has shattered.

The analogy of the pyramid vs. the Empire State Building is good, but what is the real turning point in software engineering? Can you elaborate?
---
System thinkers have indeed noticed this, but the problem is that most people are still coding with 70s mindset haha.
---
Oh right, the ceiling has been broken... so what’s next? Where are the truly profitable opportunities?
---
Every time I read articles like this, I want to ask: are those still using traditional frameworks already out?
---
Remarkable time to build? I see more as a remarkable time to hype... not sure if it’s just me being too pessimistic or what.

I agree with the part about rewriting the toolchain, but is this progress or just different chaos?
