The best quote I’ve heard is: 'I wanted an AI to do my chores so I could do art, but AI makes art, and I still have to do my chores.'

Stefan is absolutely spot on. Coding is like a language. If you are fluent in one, you can read the output from GPT and make the necessary correction if you need to. If you don't, then you may as well read some Chinese as it will make no sense whatsoever. Same is true for coding. Embrace the changes and run with it.

[adjusted-bunny]

So far I haven't seen anything earth-shattering regarding AI.

[danield.]

I suggest to consider to shift fears away from AI (100% agree with Uncle Stef) into a different area. AI is not going to kill the dev job. What really is killing the dev job are engineers from ultra low cost countries, augmented by AI like we are. These guys are happy to work for 5 USD/hour as they have a completely different cost structure in their underdeveloped country.Through the miracle of global platforms they are able to participate in our markets. But engineers living in developed countries need to earn 40 to 80 USD per hour to make a living. No chance to compete against someone who's asking 5! Freelancing in software development has become a race to the bottom. This is a serious issue. And even if you're permanently hired, you might be replaced by some cheap resource working out of Bangladesh, one day.

As an Electrical Engineer who writes a lot of code for mostly engineering-oriented tasks (simulations, data acquisition and control, etc.), I love AI but use it mostly as a last resort since I value learning and understanding how to write the code and solve the problems myself. And I've noticed what I consider a major weakness in AI (mostly ChatGPT). When I asked it to write a fairly complete and complex engineering application, it never asks for clarification, but rather just decides how to proceed on its own. And often it kind of throws up its hands and basically tells me to figure it out myself, and comes up with a solution that either doesn't work or is nowhere near what I wanted since it decided on its own. It seems to me that when it becomes able to interact with the user and get clarification and ask the user to choose different available options, then it will become closer to a real software developer who can discuss with the client how to design the application. And if a technical person can talk to the AI in English, and the AI can discuss the various design aspects with the user/client, that will be huge. Then the need to understand the code and various software language formats and syntax will be somewhat irrelevant, and the #1 software language will be English. Of course the big challenge then becomes how do you verify the code is doing what it's supposed to if you look at the code and don't understand it?

[hensonk]

Quality of software will not get better. We are abstracting away software development to a black box called AI. It doesn't make software better, it creates a lot of AI bloat. And knowing AI (whatever it means) doesn't give you a job in current market.

[geeeceeee]

As a web dev, I love the AI, you just need to know how to put things together and use the AI as a tool to speed things up.

[toadman]

AI is like machine gun versus a rifle. Less accurate, but a lot more bullets.

[JHEVR]

Thanks for this. It’s been hitting me hard, and this makes me feel more at ease.

[A.Y.]

It’s remarkably good at solving very specific problems. I still define all my class interactions, modules, type definitions etc myself. And I prompt the AI to write very “contained” logic inside a class. That way I can easily swap it out if needed, it’s like giving a junior developer a specific task. Although, tools like Lovable and Bolt seem to be producing AI that can do architecting too. They’re making rapid progress.

Ultimately, we just need to see how it plays out. A lot of jobs will become redundant though, that much is clear. Whether there’ll be an equal/higher number of new jobs created, it’s hard to imagine but stranger things have happened.

[renatoabrigo]

I love your honest opinion. Yes we need to embrace changes. But I will tell you it's still hard developing apps and games even there is AI.

[amram]

H1b is what is fing the industry but most devs are too liberal and afraid of being labeled as racists to admit this.

[gb-tlo]

I can’t believe these tech influencers are still relevant…

[sirbobbyuk]

4:02 I was with you Stefan, up to this point. Code is as good as what the requirements require, however, if the requirements themselves have issues, and they haven't been identified, then the code itself is flawed even though it is perfect

[nicola.defilippo]

We take for granted that models will continue to improve, but the reality is that the exponential curve has ended. Hallucinations are increasing and AGI is only real in science fiction movies.

[HashmatWaziriAfghan]

simply, I admire the content you provide.

[doriancerutti]

I don’t think devs are getting nervous - the bad devs are. If you find someone who loves the game, and does it a lot - they’ll outperform AI and fix its bad code.

I use AI for bad documentation, or to explain a concept - general direction maybe, But then it’s up to me to implement them. Using AI to code everything will most definitely stunt your growth as a developer.

[artur]

What do you think about lack of decent training data for models in a future ? If people will stop writing blogs, post questions on forums etc and instead just ask models .. where AI models will learn from about new technologies or updates of current ones ?

[AAron-grjk]

This year is different.... First time ever that nobody seems to be hiring. I get interviews. I pass the interview technical questions. But they always find an excuse not to hire. It's the tarrifs, ai, my age, my rate? All of the above? I'll do a test with a lower rate.

[sergeyz]

more ai = less expertise required = lower salaries, developers won't disappear, high salaries will
