if devin works, that you can use devin for creating better tool, like a devin and release it day after first release of devin. Why you will pay for something, that claim it can write the same tool without teams of human dev ? try it, and you will find true behind this huggy buggy worthless tools.

It is so silly to talk about AI replacing the programmers since it is still far away the point when that will happen. If you go to McDonalds you can see some robots delivering food to the tables. 90% of rather simple jobs at McDonalds are still performed by humans and we are far from the time robots will replace most of humans in McDonalds. This is the current state of AI in programming. While AI can do some tasks it is still far from replacing most of programmers. Maybe in the next 50 to 100 years AI will get there.

Coding will definitely remain relevant in the near future. Because the question still remains, what if AI goes rogue? Who will go in and fix the code with little to no knowledge of programming?

[@deletedaxiom6057]

Coding isn't just about syntax which LLMs are great at. Like learning higher learning mathematics it is about learning how to properly structure your thinking in a way that is good for problem solving. Learning to properly code teaches you to unambiguously express ideas. Regular language is is ambiguous and if you don't know how to code you won't be able to know if your ideas were properly communicated to the AI. Also LLMs are great at doing things they were trained on but doing novel things are outside of their domain adn it is pretty much a coinflip if they will get them right or not. I believe people will still push the bounds of knowledge in the current schema, while AI will handle the tedious work. I think of it as becoming a conductor and composer rather than just a musician.

You cannot create an automatic programmer without AGI. If you have AGI, no degree is going to do anything. He clearly does not understand what programming is. Learning to code is not about leading the programming language which you might be able to generate from a prompt. Programming is understanding the details of a system that is only vaguely defined. Even with a natural language interface, most people would not be able to code. 'Problem solving' is not a skill, you solve problems in a field that you are good at.

Creating an app through AI still requires extensive knowledge of UI/UX, typography, color theory, accessibility, performance, security, and numerous technical and design considerations. Effectively communicating these requirements is a skill in itself, and many struggle to articulate their vision clearly, especially people who have no knowledge of design or programming. Inexperienced individuals may overlook crucial factors. The iterative nature of app development, involving testing and refinement, is challenging to replicate through simple instructions. While AI can assist in development, it's unlikely to fully replace human expertise, creativity, and decision-making, especially in understanding user needs, market dynamics, and driving innovation beyond existing patterns.

[@davidclark8699]

When you learn to program, your mindset changes. You think in a different manner. You approach problems with a logical thought process, and it can be applied to all aspects of your life. Addionally, during the process of writing a complex piece of code, you think very indepthly about what you are having the code do. As I work my way through a piece of software I often think of better more optimal functionality. Perhaps what I was designing had a flaw, or perhaps there was a better way to apoach the problem. With AI we will no longer be devoting deep thought to what we are creating, and our products will suffer. Writing and debugging the code has never been the problem for me. That part is massively easy, my struggle is with debugging poorly written code that someone else developed. It takes WAY more time to go through someone elses code and fix their mistakes/optimize their process. If you are a good programmer, why would you use AI for something sufficently complex? Sure it could be faster, but all the hours may come back to haunt you as try to remove bottlenecks or poor design.

Exactly. One of the applications in knowing how to perform the calculations you learn about academically in college, is that it gives you the tools to do control trials to make sure a piece of software is working the way you expect. When I test out a program like beam analysis or finite element analysis, I set up an easy trial whose solution I can find analytically, before elaborating my model to reflect the problem I'm actually solving. This is a way to make sure the software works the way I expect. While the FEA and beam software is far more powerful than what I could do with pencil and paper, knowing how to do the problems manually helps you know how to set up control trials of the software and to understand both the inputs and results.

Admittedly most people probably pursue cs degrees to go into swe, but from where I’m at in my cs degree I think that the vast majority of the degree isn’t really dedicated to learning how to code (for better or worse), but instead is dedicated to learning the theory and applications of computer science, such as proofs for the complexities of algorithms or learning about systems or the applications of AI. Also I think that most cs degrees have you build your coding experience through projects after you take intro to programming and dsa classes

[@younggung]

I think that this AI revolution for coding that Jensen talks about is much farther away than he suggests realistically. All businesses and organizations are not as progressive as the way the top companies in the world are. I work in the government, where solutions are not always as simple as x is better than y. I see situations where organizations aren’t necessarily interested to upgrade from legacy systems and protocols. Sometimes they could say the cost isn’t worth, sometimes it’s just flat out politics, sometimes they just see change as a risk they don’t want to take when things are working good enough in their mind. There’s other reasons too, but I just think, with the various experiences I’ve had in the public sector, I doubt the overall adaptation will come as fast as he suggests. All companies/organizations are not on some super technical and logical approach to everything. The move to AI will be a lot slower for the places that have historically moved away from legacy systems/protocols slowly.

[@VoloBuilds]

Really great points! Real business is complicated and things absolutely take a while to become proven and adopted. Oftentimes, people don't make decisions optimally or even logically :) So even when it's going to be possible for AI to "do all of this", it'll still take a while for it to actually happen. Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective!

[@wdeath]

Its wrong, AI is not an egnineer for now, because it doesn't reason, its like knowing things and similar things. Its the analog intelligence, programming needs the digital one. Maybe sometime, but not now, for now its a tool. Different technology is needed for that. Also if we get there, all jobs will be gone except maybe some Phd very clever ones.

To make a well-informed decision, I suggest the following. Try to listen to opinions from software engineers who have many years of experience. Online videos can be informative, but try to find opinions on places like forums and, if possible, engage in direct conversations with industry professionals. Furthermore, study the fundamentals of artificial intelligence beyond just neural networks. Try to understand how the models and algorithms used in Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) work. Understand why topics about generative artificial intelligence have gained significant attention in recent months.

Is it necessarily a bad thing that I'm interested in programming primarily because of the money and that I can work from home? Is this a bad mindset? I'm 32 and know nothing about it, it looks really complex, but what I want is to reach a position where I can work remotely for no more than 4h a day and make enough to live comfortably. I cannot describe how much I hate working.
