if you only learned about jevons paradox primarily wrt software demand in the age of agentic engineering, you may not have fully internalized jevons parodox’s impact under the conditions of: - humans who can wield coding agents well* - coding agents breaking containment to all other knowledge work as the efficiency of labor goes up/unit cost of knowledge work goes broadly down, the demand for total work and better knowledge goes up, not down. what happened to coding isnt the exception; it’s the herald. *aka AI Engineers· 杰文斯悖论与代理工程时代
