The qualification bar isn't low, so the people who do qualify are serious people. And from what I've seen, the more experienced someone is, the less valuable the AI is to them.
For eg, a Claude subscription might boost an intern's productivity by 10x-15x but the gain is lot less for an experienced person.
Honestly, I'd be shocked to meet a software developer who isn't using some kind of AI tool at all. Even if just to ask questions, "e.g. what's wrong with this syntax."

I'm patching, upgrading and deploying faster than I have ever done. Not to mention finding configuration and security issues.

With 22 years of development experience, I'm already operating in a highly parallelized workflow. I routinely spin up multiple git worktrees and drive concurrent feature development via Claude, then step in for structured code review, refinement, and integration. This approach materially increases throughput without compromising quality. The practical efficiency improvements I am seeing in real-world delivery is other-worldly.
AI is here to stay.
-OSS maintain packages with 500 or more dependent repos, 100 or more dependent packages, or 200,000 monthly downloads
-You're a listed committer or maintainer on a recognized core language project. Linux kernel, Django, Rails etc.
The typical developers best bet is this route:
-You've authored 100 or more pull requests merged into repos you don't own in the last 12 months
