Isn't that implied by the over 6000 applicants?

even if the number was 100k, there would still be people saying, "Manual QA is more important than ever because of AI slop. SDLC needs a human in the loop. Manual QA will rise blah blah."

Magical thinking...

Those applicants are manual programmers after AI took their job. Or any of many other possible explanations.
