Coding will not be killed but the way we code that surely will change. No-code will be more mainstream for most of tasks. Anyone has good logical point of view will be able build any kind of software without knowing code.
 
AI is not going to get the big picture and the attention to detail the way a human could. But AI could make it easier for more people to create software faster and easier and will make individual software engineers more production. But the lower barrier to entry and higher productivity will mean that a lot more software will be created and would need to compete on the market. Will there be enough demand for it? Most likely yes though some stubborn or low quality coders might find themselves out of a job and behind the times. There will be disruptions, but creating software will remain an activity many humans will be involved in and many will continue to make a living doing so.
 
I am using AI every day to coding and
... no it cannot kill coding. Person without technologies knowledge, data flow self-consciousness, libraries knowledge cannot code with AI anything more than mess.
 
Yes, at least in it's current form. Innovation will still come from people; but the creation most definitely will not.
 
No it cant, I believe you still need some knowledge to code with AI.
 
it's like saying giving birth to a baby will kill humanity. There's no way it kill coding, when it's created by coding in the first place. The skill may become better but it still need someone to control it, train it, and improve into it. If you think anyone with ai = can code no matter how good the ai become than you're overestimating general population.
 
But if you can't guide the prompt, how are you going to build software?

I'm a programmer and AI makes me faster but if you give AI to my mom and ask her to build you a web application or something, I don't think she'll be able to, because this industry still has a lot of jargon and when you're deep down, you may think it's so easy to connect a database to a php website etc...

but for some people it's almost impossible or just understanding what an api key is for exemple... so yes I think it's going to make a lot of developers faster but not better. I don't know if this is the case, but I have a feeling there's a problem with chatgpt.

Cause even o1 is never doing what I actually want it to do.

o1 is crap against claude ;)
They made that model more stupid than previous.

But the rest is great point. If you leave AI without control it will make such spagetti mess you will never find out what's happening.
for 10 code changes / 5 are rejects for me and I need to force AI
to use node.js because it want to put php :)
 
I believe AI is gonna help us code better, not replace us.

In my case, it helps me with the basics, and then I finish it off, especially with the craziness of everyday life. When I have time, I write from scratch to finish, but I really like using AI to help me out; it makes my work easier.

And who created AI? Another AI?

Also, AI doesn’t know how to do hacks (this part is just a joke, hope it made you laugh).
 
Well it depends on AI's common sense and its insanely getting better day by day.
 
AI is here to help, speed processes up, automatize boring stuff and make things easier...people need to change this mindset that AI is here to fully replace everything, for now and for the next few years, you can't give AI the full job to be done without human interference. Also, humans can create new coding languages that will take some time until AI fully dominates
 
On the contrary, there will be even more specialties and jobs needed for the creation and management of AI.

Have you ever thought that the demand for programmers has only been increasing since the emergence of AI?
 
The future is agents.

Designers will go away first. art is ahead of logical coding by a mile.

Low end coders will go away first, I can get results better from AI than when I outsource. Takes me as long to just do it now than hiring someone.

Sysadmin will likely go away as blue team agents will live on the server and red team agents will attempt to get in.

High end developers will morph from SaaS to agent dev which is basically doing the same thing only smarter and more productive.

The ladies will get hit the hardest. 2/3 college graduates are women who mostly have bs degrees and fluffy jobs that are easily replaceable.
 
I think it will, but not now take a latest 1 to 2 years
