Show HN: We need to define a new scale for measuring any software project

I am a software engineer with 15 years of experience, and this is the first time I feel the era of traditional software engineering and many desk jobs in general is starting to end. In the next 5 to 10 years, most desk based roles will likely disappear, except for jobs directly connected to AI.

I built this in under 8 hours using AI. I used Gemini 3 to see whether the marketing claim was real that you can build almost anything just by describing it. So far, I have not hit any serious blockers. I used vibe coding.

For the first time in my career, I have actually thought that I might be out of a job in ten years. Not because I lack skills, but because the tools are becoming incredibly powerful. With Gemini 3, I can build games in less than a day, and this feels like only the beginning.

Tools like Antigravity turn developers into managers of AI agents instead of people who write every line by hand. The old model of expensive custom work is fading. Software can now be produced at massive scale, faster and cheaper than ever before.

Gemini 3 feels like the start of a new era. What comes next will reshape how we work and likely society itself much sooner than most people expect.
