This instead is a concern for newer devs. There is now no argument for bringing on the cadre of workers you’d need to do all the hand-jamming, testing, and reviewing, learning how to code in the process.

The remaining 10% of devs that I don't fire. How much software do I really need?
Anyway, I know there are some flaws in my argument, it was just a thought experiment.
Dev teams should be leaner now, with maybe at most a director as their manager up to executive level.
As for ‘how much software do I really need?’ Well, what sort of company is it? Do you have internal applications to support your orgs? If you seriously need to ask ‘how much software do I need?’ Then you should just fire yourself.
Some bean counter will want to replace the principal devs with juniors since Claude can do all the work instead…
