A manager. This tool is for what managers think software development is: managing the production of code. From that perspective this hype makes a lot of sense, just turn all your current developers into managers with AI and you now have grown the team by 10x. You can go back in time and find many jokes about how adding more developers doesn't speed up delivery but slows it down. I don't see how AI would suddenly make that less true, especially since the AI is not accountable for its results, you are.
