I did a lot of coding with AI the past 3 months. AI helps when you are experienced devs. If newbie devs use AI, I expect a lot of bugs introduced. AI did not make me code faster, I am just able to code with some frameworks (reactjs) that i don't know very much as i am backend dev. I feel if I know how to write code in react, I would be able to write faster than using AI.

Maybe he wants sw focus on something else more higher level? Perhaps more focusing and designs like any other engineering disciplines?

[@ManiakPL22]

so... before going on to create Nvidia as purely a hardware company, he was working as a waiter at dennys... not making that up btw look it up. He was only working for 5 years as that, basically during his education. Then he finished 2 degrees, both relating to electrical engineering (so no software), and he basically went and created Nvidia right after finishing his masters. I didn't read a lot about him, and I do not want to judge his character, but yeah if someone like this makes a comment about AI, software, and people making it... he probably didn't do much of that himself. He has no recorded interest or projects relating to programing, and most likely he is just good at business, engineering and understanding electronic systems, and successfully identified a niche in the market he could fill, that grew probably even surprising him. Definitely not an idiot, definitely would listen to him on a lot of topics, probably if ask could put together a good computer specs, he probably has no clue what he is talking about relating to AI and software, he is just saying stuff to boost his company because again, he is a very good and successful businessmen that was able to identify a niche in the market thanks to his engineering knowledge. Stuff like that is not just luck, but yeah you are probably right on the money here btw sorry for word vomiting in replies.

[@jeffstienstra3615]

Just a tip for newer devs: I coach new devs and have seen that the ones who over-rely on chatGPT end up struggling, flailing, and starting projects over constantly. They don't establish a solid understanding of the fundamentals and become a bit stagnant, while their code from chatGPT gets buggier and harder to work with. Use AI for specific things and use it to explain concepts to you that you don't understand. have it give code examples. ask for analogies. Treat it like a teacher rather than a laborer and you'll see your skills grow more quickly. While it can't write a multiplayer FPS in Unity for you, it can help with specific problems like how to calculate an object's trajectory if you're specific enough.

[@OZTutoh]

I'm a new programmer and this is entirely my experience with AI. I can ask Google Gemini to write me a HTML file with d3.js code in it that draws a white graph on a black background using 3 points of data. That code can be quickly dropped into a HTML file to prove to me if it actually works or not. If it does, I'll learn where the graph axis colour attributes are in the method chain, which is absent from all online examples I've seen so far. If I ask it to do more than that, I usually won't get working code, which is not worth debugging.

I wanted to redo a bunch of sites from WP, into Astro and as someone with rudimentary HTML a bit of CSS experience I have to say it was pretty great. My end product was a better result than what I could have got with a paid theme with WordPress or with a ton of paid plug-ins. As for buggy code I would probably agree with that because it's pretty new. I find that having a well structured .cursorrules file helped. And having a bunch of patience as well and knowing how to problem solve or better learning how to build in debugging and rest harnesses. Each site I did got better and better. Now working on this one I'm still pretty reliant on the AI, but I'm not going to replace a front-end developer anytime soon this is just a great learning experience.

I love this comment. I am in the middle between a beginner and an intermediate web developer. I can build a basic project but some advanced concepts are a bit foggy. I try not to use much AI and only use it when I need something explained.

[@suleimanmamman7689]

According to Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, "Everyone in the world is now a programmer." Here's my perspective: AI cannot replace developers because writing a good prompt for AI to generate quality code requires programming knowledge. Additionally, understanding and validating the generated code is impossible without a developer's expertise. Someone without programming knowledge cannot simply rely on AI for copy-pasting and expect it to work effectively.

I've tried the best and latest AI tools in the market and it "kind of" works when you know what you're doing. But when it comes to production grade code tailored with some strict docs and configurations, everything failed. You can't just go ahead and say "Hey OpenAI write me optimized code for another amazon with better SEO and performance" this is not how things works! There're a LOT of things that go into programming than just writing code. We're not language translators or essay writers. There's a big difference between PROGRAMMING and CODING. The beauty of human curiosity, self learning and thinking about new ideas are the things that AI can never replace in near future.

[@AsadullahYousaf-qn5us]

Yup and thats the backdraw of AI . Ai can never meet all the requirements we want. It wouldn't replace human thinking and problem solving experiences

[@cristiansprohnle3461]

After 15 years coding I feel that the easiest task as sw engineer is actually coding. The hardest stuff is gather requirements, digging in the legacy trashy code and define architectures that are scalable and easy to contribute with big teams. The code that ai generates today looks like the trashy code that I programmed on my firsts years as profesional developer. But it can be good as a refresher of some old knowledge or to find inspiration to look something on a more reliable source

[@Myndale]

AI is particularly good if you're a full-stack developer because it helps offload some of the more tedious tasks specific to the many different technologies we work on. It's like having a junior dev at your disposal who's actually not too bad and can write base code in a few seconds to get you going, but never contradicts you or argues with you or competes with you for pay rises and bonuses etc and doesn't tell everyone in the company exactly how much of your work they did. You just gotta keep in mind though that at the end of the day, they're still a junior.

[@acupsf]

It's like having a junior dev at your disposal -- good analogy

[@chaitanyabhole]

"Everybody can become a programmer" does NOT equal to "Every should become a programmer" These so called leaders make attention grabbing statements but the ground reality hits you when you start writing code. Putting on a pair of glasses (ie spectacles) doesn't make you a literate person, it merely helps you to see better.

[@trevorelvis1355]

I personally will never stop coding even AI can do it better. In my experience, when AI generated code doesn't work as intended, I have to spend hours if not days getting it to do what I want. For simple 10-100 lines code, I just do it my self as I find it takes me longer to explain to AI what I want and the code that I get is not always what I wanted because my explanation was bad or I was just misunderstood. I have a passion in computer architecture and operating systems but I will never stop loving what I do even if AI can do it better. NEVER EDIT: If you've ever written code before, each programmer has a very specific way they do it. It's like a hand writing. I really don't like the way AI does it even if it way more organised than mine, there is a method to the madness.

@planesrift - I got into Python using AI generated code, but there was a point when I found myself going “here is the error message:…” and plugging crappy code back into the loop that I thought “screw this, it’d be quicker to learn Python and do it myself”.

I suggest them sometimes, don't follow this approach it will lead you to wrong decisions and will mess your coding skills. Using AI is good but putting its code directly into the project is literally bad..... always analyze what AI wrote and then modify accordingly, ro make it different ....

[@andrediquelou3583]

I agree that code generated by artificial intelligence can be dangerous for a beginner or an inexperienced developer if too much trust is placed in it. I try to develop on my own with ChatGPT, and something often concerns me: when the requested code is generated by AI, we are often forced to review it, modify or add lines of code, and then realize that the organization of the code is haphazard. This often leads to potential bugs when the code evolves. Ultimately, between generating the right prompt and fixing messy code, the strategy of relying entirely on AI-generated code is not ideal. A middle ground is needed, which, at the beginning of AI-assisted learning, requires a lot of trial and error.

I thought by caption you were anti-AI until I completely watched the video, for which I have to agree to you. Although I learn coding using AI, I just try my best to learn the fundamentals first and use AI to make questions for me to practice so that I can write code of my own and then ask AI for evaluating it because I am self-learning to code, and if I get stuck, I go to documentation or coding websites to get ideas to code, and sometimes AI just provides me new code where I sometimes get neat and clean, and for that I am getting correct output.

Having a troubling job situation at the moment and got talking to a "recruiter" at an event who said programming is dead, usual stuff, my friend in industry says (from someone who doesn't code) etc... Ugh. They just like shiny things like AI is Magic. I think it has a habit of 'poisoning itself', by which I mean, It remembers the wrong stuff too in a conversation and can bring that wrong back.

It means you're thinking of how to solve the problem yourself less, and implementing code that you don't understand.

When I watched the Nvidia and Stability CEO's talks, they made me believe I have more robust experience and understanding of software development than them. Probably, they never write software, because as a tech CEO doesn't have to be too technical. As a developer, AI is just a good friend with relevant experience, nothing more.

"Everyone in the world is now a programmer!" 🤣🤣🤣

[@joshuamcmillan6390]

Honestly, I enjoy using AI for boiler-plating. However, I make sure I’m specific on my requests so I control the architecture. AI isn’t “takeover” or “mindless”, it’s a tool that takes oversight, like a power tool.

Thanks for videos like this

[@maosamoelaabraham5012]

I've been using chatGPT for coding for a couple months now and here is what I can say... AI doesn't do the job from A to Z, you still need to put your hands dirty to be able to enjoy its work. You must understand the key concepts of programming and all its paradigms and use AI to write code faster, again, what AI does best is to write code faster (assuming that you know what you're doing), not all of it at once but enough to have a pretty good start; if anything, everything mechanical and repetitive, AI does them far better. Anything creative about a program, you must do it not the AI...at least for now. But when they say that in years that are coming, we won't need programmers...they're not totally wrong, this sh*t is fast and constantly learning from its users and from its errors exponentially...but maybe I'm wrong.

100% right bro

Is KZbin reading my mind or something

[@shayneguzman]

Large component of being an engineer or programmer is TROUBLESHOOTING..having the know how to fix it when it's broken

[@barabarahito]

I've found AI useful for doing the more tedious aspects of coding, but I still have to go back and clear up bugs, errors and the rest. I also have to simplify things that AI tries to do in the most complicated way possible, but I wouldn;t know that if I hadn't learned the basisc of coding to begin with.

[@Fab-tx9hz]

Very intresting video! As a beginner coder, i often wonder if im wasting my time learning software engineering, especially with Ai advancing. Its a bit of a relief to see that Ai has been over estimated haha. Thanks Mosh!

[@jeffstienstra3615]

Just a tip: I coach new devs and the ones who over-rely on chatGPT end up struggling, flailing, rewriting, and refactoring constantly. They don't establish a solid understanding of the fundamentals and become a bit stagnant. Use AI for specific things and use it to explain concepts to you that you don't understand. have it give code examples. ask for analogies. Treat it like a teacher rather than a laborer and you'll see your skills grow more quickly. While it can't write a multiplayer FPS in Unity for you, it can help with specific problems like how to calculate an object's trajectory, etc.

[@Fab-tx9hz]

@jeffstienstra3615 thanks for the reply! Im currently on a codeacademy full development course. I like using chatgbt as a teacher. I was trying to get my head around 'for loops' recently and asked it to run through a small block of code and explain it to me in simple terms. It's amazing in this sense, but I completely agree that I'd be absolutely baffled in a future workplace if I relied too much on it.

[@person-jw7vb]

Is that so ? 3 years ago, Ai couldn't even possibly even start to generate code. 2 years ago when chat gpt came out, chatgpt was at grade 10 - 12 level. It could only generate snippet of ( bad ) code. 1 year ago : gpt 4 could actually be used in university level coding ( of course, not with a single prompt but many to get a reliable answer and even then you had to have a thorough understanding of said code and coding in general to assemble the codes ) Present day : gpt o1 beats 90% of leetcodes and can be considered at at the junior dev level of coding ( hence why coding in general is slowly starting to automate ) Next year : Orion is going to be released if the rumours are true. It would far better than a junior programmer even at the level of senior programmer in some fields. This is why kids shouldn't learn how to code. In 10 years can you honestly say that Ai wouldn't be better than most senior devs ? What will happen to the kids who are entering the workforce as programmers ?

[@haathimazmy]

whatever technology comes, it can never beat human

[@takakis]

AI is never going to replace us. Just like any other technology, it'll always be a great servant but a terrible master.

[@rukshanaparvin5437]

Hello! Ur contenr haa helped me alot❤

[@jonknight4616]

Using AI tools can be useful, but you have to go in not expecting perfect code. You have to massage it, work it. It can often give you a good starting place. If you hand these tools to people who don't have good foundations in coding, don't know the fundamentals, that will lead to many of these issues (because they won't know how to massage it, to fix it, if something goes wrong and it most definitely will along the way). That isn't to say these tools aren't helpful, though, you just still need to have the proper training to make the best use of them, like any tool.

[@amelioratepsych]

What they mean is that there won't be any need of coders building things from scratch till the end. There would be fixers and only those can fix who know ins and outs of the programming thoroughly ofcourse. And yes it means less jobs because now one needs problem solving and fixing skills rather than writing the whole stuff. Suppose If Writing used to take 8 hours, with AI, writing + fixing could take 4 hours. That person then can turn to freelance and complete another person's job in remaining 4 hours. (I dont even have coding background, so just slide this)

[@adoraduca]

It depends on how you use AI when coding, especially for repetitive tasks, documentation or asking questions. Personally I love using AI when I code, it also improves my productivity by a large margin. Also suspect that AI will replace programmers sooner than many of us realize.

[@evansjones1347]

It also depends on those who know how to use it 💯💯💯💯💯

[@AsadullahYousaf-qn5us]

What if we provide correct details and requirement to AI bot to make some code changes or any feature we want in website development. Will it provide good results without error free. I think it will as per my perception. What would you like to say about my perception .

[@Karol-g9d]

ai need to be able to validate proper keyboard curser location after writing . The 4 math sign i supplied ? In xbox serie x digital edge or copilot from edge ? Keyboard cursor location is after first math symbol . It should be after the twin math symbol . Ask wolfram .

[@JosephusBawah]

I literally had an add pop up just in the middle of mosh's video add cmon, it's not my fault i can't afford KZbin Premium now
