The Great Bifurcation & The ProductivityParadox

The history of software engineering is a history of abstraction. But what happens when the
abstraction layer becomes intelligence itself?
We are witnessing a fundamental decoupling. For the first time, “coding” (the syntax) is
separating from “engineering” (the logic). Generative AI has driven the marginal cost of code
generation toward zero, but in doing so, it has precipitated a crisis of identity and economics
for the profession.
For the CoinsLive community, this shift is critical. In Web3, “vibe coding” a smart contract
doesn’t just break a button, it drains a treasury.
