He is weirdo with a massive ego. I wouldn't say he is idiot, he is serving his own interests. He once said france should stop keeping nukes, that there was no need and it was to expensive to maintain. He was for dismentelment of our nuclear facilities, maybe in favor of russian gaz ? Hight enery cost in europe, he play his part of it with half of our power plan shut down for "maintenance" right when the war started. We used to sell cheap electricity to Eu, now we need to import it from coal :) Lots of Eu politicians are bribe by russian gaz lobby. He is somewhat friend with putin, they went in holiday together before the war. Russians are buying some key nuclear maintenance companies in France. There is so much stuff going on that the news are not covering, this will probably start a few scandales when he stop been president.

You can't completely make the comparison with farmer. There is limit of land that can be farm and there is a certain amount of food need to feed humans and animals.

Software dont have such limitation, anybody could be making software as long as there are users for it. I thing Ai will help developer to be more efficient in the short term, middle term Ai will help regular fox to make software with no code solution, long term if we get AGI then it is game over for SWE but every other job we know too
