As with all software developers, they keep making bad estimates of project timeline

Louis van Dompselaar@nixCraft it will arrive with Teslaās FSD.
Sassinake!this should be a poll
Bogdan Buduroiu@nixCraft Even if Software Engineering is not obsolete, have fun fixing your sales/product manager's vibe coded demo slop for 30% of the salary you were commanding pre-AI.
JoonqIt's so stupid that we don't even get proper tooling out of it.
I mean, AI could definitely be used to improve our lives as Devs, there's enough boring grunt work that's just in between too complicated to automate easily and too simple to be meaningful.
Phil Haigh@nixCraft the first time I was told that writing code would āsoon be obsoleteā was at university. In 1988. Fortunately for me that, and every proclamation since, had been proved wrong.
Much like Iām convinced that cars will always have a steering wheel, I believe that software engineering will always be a profession.
Flame@nixCraft Oh, I heard that one even a couple of years earlier in the late 2010s, when I was at a company event and the woman leading HR said that software development will all soon be automated away and we won't be needed anymore. Let's just say that since then I've had my position as a software developer longer than she had been in the company in total (she left the company some time after that comment).

I really would like to comment on this, but unfortunately I died a few years ago, like everybody else who got the Covid vaccine....
