UTTER BS, I'm a dev and AI for coding is delusional to say the least
I don't understand – if AI takes over all these jobs, which make up about 10% of the workforce worldwide, and even affects other professions like taxes and banking, who will be able to buy the products that are now produced more cheaply? Will AI be subscribing to Netflix?
How are you going to provide the AI with ALL the context it needs to work as a SWE?
Typically any big organization codebase spans across 100s of repos if not more, and with architecture styles like microservices and distributed systems the logic is literally partitioned into multiple repos. Often, changes in one repo require changes in another repo which are not always apparent and require thorough analysis. Add to that all the business requirements and nitty gritty details which are important from development point of view but are not always explicitly written down. And even if they were written down it would be difficult for the AI to anaylze this and figure out a solution.
I believe AI is just a tool that can be used by SWEs to speed up their work and increase efficiency but is not a replacement for SWEs.
Healthcare. Healthcare is linked to having a job here in the US.
Its inevitable. And maybe necessary.
I mean, look at the world, humans failed tbh
Oh wow! What an ecxellent idea! Get rid of sortware engineers and pay a single company to that job. In 5 years time there will be no SWE-s and that single company will be able to charge whatever it wants … bravo! Yes do that!
A large chunk of being a programmer isn't writing code. It's figuring out the design of the system they will eventually code. AI cant and shouldn't be making these design decisions. I would estimate that AI is applicable to maybe 30% of what I do.
how can i see the subtext with timestamps like in 5:27 ? Thank you in advance!!
Coding will never die. There will always be a need for 3D artists, animators, coders and software developers. AI will simply make these people's jobs much easier. As someone who works in the construction industry, I have little knowledge of coding and am not into programming. I use software on a daily basis for work, and I have ideas about how to improve the features that I use, and I do have ideas about what software they should develop for the construction industry. But, I don't have the programming skills to create software on my own.
I'm not saying that I can't learn programming and eventually create something. I simply don't have the time, and I'm not in the business or profession of software development. A programmer or coder would still be needed to do all software development if I wanted to turn my ideas into reality and produce the software I want. And even if there was a way for me to use an AI program to get enough code to build my software by simply typing one sentence into a prompt, I still need to be sure that the program is giving me the right code and information, and I still need to know how to use that code and package everything to get a fully functional piece of software.
I'm not sure why all these AI programs have been frightening people lately, everywhere on YouTube we hear things like "ChatGPT is here, coders must kiss their jobs goodbye," "DeepSeek is here, someone is going to lose their job," "AI animation is here, animators and 3D artists must kiss their jobs goodbye." Does that imply that a movie director could simply type "give me an animation of Tom kicking Jerry" into a prompt and a Tom and Jerry movie would be created with a single click? To get the intended results or tell a story correctly, everything still needs to be directed and controlled. The same is true for programming; you still need a programmer who knows how to use the code they're getting from ChatGPT, DeepSeek, or any other software, and who can verify that it's the correct code or even a code at all.
So its kind of inbreeding one a.i to tge next? 😂. Remember inbreeding is ok but just to point and that it turns bad
I am just starting to learn Python (as a retiree project). Spent all of yesterday having a conversation with Deep Seek R1. At the end of the day it had still not solved my problem (a Computer Vision issue); it tried to write code with a Numpy function that is now deprecated and it provided me with a description of the "main" without including the "main" function itself. Over Christmas my daughter (who has a Maths Ph.D) solved a similar problem in a day and a half. Way to go…. OK for a productivity tool or a brainstorming partner but these models are not going to be performing end-to-end tasks any time soon.
You still need to be a programmer to build advanced things, but, that takes years and years to gain understanding and experience.
The end of mediocre engineers. Sure. Good.
Until it can think creatively I am not even remotely scared. Non creative people should probably be … which is what >99% of people. But truly creative thinkers? You will be fine.
AI is going to make everyone a programmer. But there will still be niche needs for mission critical work where you must dive into the lower level. Think of how assembly lead to object oriented. It only grew the market overall.
Chefs and Accountants are more Safe than developpers, that's crazy
if you will only need senior engineers and no juniors, what happens when the seniors retire?
This is great news. Most software engineers I’ve met are hyper capitalist Elon musk fanboys that voted for Trump. Now they’re going to get to fully live in poverty now that end state capitalism has made the obsolete 😂
I already use LLMs as a sort of paired programmer, the issue right now I feel the LLMs have is there isn't great context for a large legacy codebase, as RAGs get better and code is produced that uses local libraries, then sure I believe a lot of jobs will be upended. When they talk about how well their model does in programming competitions or on clean code, that is not representative of real development. Someone else talked about the product cycle meetings, etc., sure, but some of those people will disappear too.
Learning to code develops your mind – a commodity that will be harder and harder to find.
Naive to think once AI takes jobs that companies are just gonna make things for the rest of us. The only thing they are gonna make are weapons to fend off the starving.
