The editors make a fair point — Valley-centric narratives do distort the picture, and software engineering is a leading indicator, not a special case. But "inevitably" is doing heavy lifting: diffusion into healthcare, law, or manufacturing hits liability, regulation, and messy legacy data that tech never had to face. What likely transfers is the workflow pattern — AI as a junior collaborator, shrinking entry-level pipelines — not the timeline. Professional services and back-office functions look like the next stress test for this playbook. On balance a solid framing piece, though the teaser promises more empirical grounding than it can deliver.
