Cheap Code ≠ Cheaper Coders

We aren’t talking innovation anymore—it’s a full-on coding revolution happening here! AI coding tools, such as Cursor, Zed, GitHub Copilot, Anthropic’s Claude Artifacts and OpenAI’s canvas, are helping non-developers break into coding while helping the existing developers code 10x faster.

However, some argue that since these coding tools are so cheap, they might end up making coders even cheaper. 

Really? 

In the US, software developers earn between $40,000 and $150,000 annually, depending on experience and specialisation, with an average salary of around $89,190 per year.
