More like "the era of mediocre AI generated code it's over" and "the era of human maintaining slop" will begin creating tons of money for actual senior programmers.

It sounds more like Deno is over.

Just letting you know that Sequoia invested in Deno [1][2][3][4], which is one of the reasons why Ryan is saying silly absolutist statements like this.

On top of the fact that Bun is now acquired by Anthropic, Deno is also either:

1. Pivoting to Cloud (for AI Agents to use Deno)

2. Looking for an exit to an AI lab or infrastructure partner.

Note that AI mostly does well on Python, JS and Typescript code so he has an incentive to align Deno on this angle.

It also doesn't help that Ryan has done a Google Brain residency where he studied deep learning (which boosts this "authority" on his silly absolutist statement)

Sequoia are asking Ryan "when return on investment, how can we have an exit like what Bun has done"?
