If AI can do the job of a senior software engineer, I see absolutely no reason why it couldn't do the job of a CEO.

"I wish I could fire everyone, except the hot secretary" - Every CEO, seems

Another MBA, who saw a PowerPoint at the local conference is now convinced, that the perpetual motion machine will obsolete any new engines. That's it. Games over.

Most developers aren't coding

Most developers are in AGILE HELL

When I started in IT, the saying was, "when 4G languages come, programmers will no longer be needed". That was about 30 years ago...

"The end of forks is near", said CEO of spoon factory

[ravenking]

This is rich coming from a company whose AI was previously discovered to just be a bunch of people in India

This next new product would render developers obsolete. It's so revolutionary we need to hire a lot of developers for making it.

"Basically it's over for juniors" <--Where do you think senior engineers come from...?

[kindoblue]

As a programmer, the core of my job was not typing on a keyboard or coding or meeting or else: it was pondering in solitude details nobody has never cared and taking 2000 microdecisions that nobody will ever know. That solitude, my friend, was my job. AI can weep my ass

Apparently developers will be replaced by highly efficient prompt engineers.

Only requirement: 10 years of exp as a dev

Programmers will be like accountants. It's not the number crunching that's hard, the calculator will do it for you. It's EVERYTHING around it.

[alevyts]

Early perceptions of compilers in the 1950s: "With the development of compilers, programming will soon be as simple as writing English, and the need for professional programmers will diminish."

John von Neumann (attributed): "We have created a machine to do all of our work; soon, there will be no need for mathematicians or programmers."

Howard Aiken: "Only six electronic digital computers would be required to satisfy the computing needs of the entire United States."

Can we all agree AI should replace Project Managers ASAP

[F_C...]

"Accountants and bankers can stop doing math once the calculator takes over"

[tyson]

I've been coding for 38 years, I have 2 local AI's on my home network. AI's WILL NOT replace human programmers. They can help one, but they do not have the ability to imagine a new thing. All they do, is take the stuff we humans wrote, and slam it together, like a 1st year programmer copy-pasting code out of stack exchange. CEO's typically have almost NO technical knowledge. They sure think they do, though.

I love it when someone in a, non-transferable, completely unrelated position, tells me how *my* job should be done.
