Salesforce AI Vaporware? The Real Lesson for Developers

A veteran web developer shares his take on the Bloomberg report questioning Salesforce's AgentForce AI platform as vaporware, using it as a springboard to discuss AI's real impact on software development jobs. He argues the 'SaaS apocalypse' narrative is overblown, that non-developers hit an '80% wall' with AI tools while experienced developers can achieve 5-10x productivity gains. He's skeptical of autonomous AI agents, recommends learning foundational software development principles to get the most from AI, and estimates AI will drive roughly 25-35% overall productivity improvement rather than mass job displacement.
