A few people have been asking me what I think about AI encroaching on programmers’ jobs, and I’ve been replying with this https://www.commitstrip.com/2016/08/25/a-very-comprehensive-and-precise-spec/
@ZevEisenberg as in other fields being encroached on, it’s not mostly about replacing people or having them do less work, or freeing them to do “higher level work.” It’s about paying them less for the same work because they’re “just cleaning up the output.” Watch what’s happening in translation services.
Where replacement will come is at the most junior levels, making it difficult to train the next generation of folks to do that “clean up.”
