People over here saying there is much more than just "coding" in computer engineering. Well, that is true, but there is nothing inmediately simple about writing code. Depending on the problem sure you can do some static HTML that takes a couple hours of dedicated study (that ChatGPT is perfectly capable of helping you with), or something like GPU graphics or systems programming, that may take you years to master. Good luck using any AI for that. For me chatGPT is an alternative that works in tandem with Google to facilitate access to information, it is not doing anything by itself either.

GPU programming is much easier than people think though. The program is literally given a coordinate on the screen and has to return a color for that location in RGBA, that's it.

Great takes. Loved the problem solving part. People got used to that when they come to me with "i have a problem, maybe you can help", first thing they get is "OK, tell me what problem you're trying to solve...". It's mind bending the disconnect you sometimes have from "what you're trying to do" to "what problem you're trying to solve". Once that is out of the way, it's time for "OK, now show me how you tried to solve it". Let me tell you, sometimes the connection between what they're doing and what they're trying to achieve is tenuous at best... p.s. and yeah, motivation is high for "things you want done". Last time it bit me was "i hate my keypads macro recorder, i just want to write it in plain text by hand...". Cue firing up the hex editor, reversing their (godawful) binary format to a point i could use it, write a quick text>macro converter and test, test, test. When i got it working, i was "this sucks, wonder if i could use an ESP32 as a BT keyb and drive it from an app on my phone...". Just waiting for the package to arrive ;) And i so hate Belkin for not updating their n52 software past XP and selling it to Razer...

I think there are currently two fundamental problems holding back the progression of AI: 1. These companies are running out of data sets to keep expanding their models. Companies are already trying to figure out how to create "synthetic" data to have more things to train models on. 2. The current methodologies of training models are ineffective for creating the level of "intelligence" that OpenAI, Google, Anthropic are trying to reach. It's why we need probably 3x the available amounts of data we actually have to further tune and add parameters to these already gigantic models. The current paradigms of AI development won't get us a junior level developer out of GPT-5, Gemini Ultra 2 or Claude 4. They might be an advancement but they're an advancement on a paradigm that won't work in the long run. Bonus problem: We don't have the supply chain infrastructure to generate the amount of compute necessary for companies to replace millions of junior developers.

​@@LiveType Right now it seems like compute is allowing these companies to try to squeeze every last drop out of the current designs even though we're at rapidly diminishing returns with ever increasing parameter volumes. I also think compute is enabling them to do more and more dynamic things with standard user prompts while also enabling more kinds of prompts without fundamental architectural changes to these models. While the models aren't really improving that much they are more functional which I think serves as a consumer stopgap until better model and training methodologies can be established. I liken it to a service that gives you a robot as a date that looks like a person. With GPT-3 the date wasn't that smart, wasn't that enertaining to talk to, and was ugly. GPT-4 the date was more dynamic to talk to, more attractive, it would by you a drink and that made it seem like it was a lot smarter but the truth is you just enjoyed yourself more. GPT-5 will be much more attractive, will be able to talk dynamically about all sorts of things, and you'll be able to go to a variety of different fun places with it. You're having a lot more fun and you might even want to go on another date but you wouldn't want it as your significant other if you really got to know it. More compute simply means more features but until we get something fundamentally different in the model - to belabor the analogy - we won't be introducing GPT-5 to our parents anytime soon.

It doesn't even have to get that much better at writing code, companies just need to find ways to implement already existing tools into their workflow. 1 good programmer/"prompt engineer" will soon replace 10 average programmers. I think that's the point all these guys are missing because they have this strawman idea of a workforce made up entirely of bots as the replacement for developers. It's basically like the same thing that happened when assemblerswere first created where one programmer could do the job of 20 people because there was no longer the need for the 19 extra people who had to painstakingly convert program instructions into machine code by hand

20:55 The current state of the LLM chat bots building code is method/function by method/function. You WILL NOT be able to ask it to build an application. HOWEVER, you can build an application with it. Think of it like writing a book. It's understanding is not broad enough to create a novel, but you as the author/prompter know where you are in the story, and what you want to portray next, so you give a brief description of where you're at and how it can help you jump forward a little. The key here is finding a way for you and the AI to keep as much of the past in the LLM's memory as possible. Like if you're writing code and you finish a package and move to another one, but ask it a question that it needs to reference work it help you with earlier, it just won't contextualize the past

Calculators are a lot better at basic math and usually faster than humans most of the time. However, mental math ability still useful as it can give sense to people that useful, can be quicker at times than using a tool, and develop skills/deeper understanding. The more creative and longer math work still often requires humans esp. on cutting edge. I think the same will hold true with coding. Now coding is not only two or three lines, and longer tasks worse code generated is or LLM are. There is also the factor of human readability and code looking good, which is importance for maintenance and others, and that's a human thing. What I see here is code generated by AI and more editing by humans of code to make code better, or humans playing with prompts, etc. Next part it is, there are things that humans may uniquely see that computers will not get. It may be horrible at designing UI as it is not human or front end to be appealing, or may use symbols or variables in code that humans do not understand as well. Lastly, trusting AI without thinking and know-how may lead to hallucinations in code, security bugs, etc. but working together may be better than human or AI code alone

I think the "AI will at some point replace junior devs" is quite short thinking (sure, a lot of managers don't think further than literally tomorrow, but that's a different topic). Every senior at some point in the past was a junior dev. So, let's say at some point an AI will straight up be able to replace every junior dev and it's not overly expensive to use. Ok, if that gets adopted at a wide scale, that pretty much means that a huge chunk of junior devs will not exist. But that also means that a huge chunk of senior devs won't have a chance to exist. Becoming a senior requires quite a lot of experience, most of the time multiple decades of doing it full time. That's not really something you can do in your free time, well, except if money isn't a problem and you can practically ignore monetary problems. For a time, that's not going to be a problem, but at some point the current senior are going to retire. So there are going to be less and less senior devs. At first that seems similar to what the financial industry with COBOL is going through, but it's quite a bigger problem. COBOL at its core is still a normal programming language, sure it's old, but at its core it's the same as e.g. JavaScript or Rust or Haskell. So at least theoretically they can get replacements from different industries. But if junior devs fall away in every industry, you can't replace the senior devs in YOUR industry because EVERY industry has this problem. So, the question at that point will be: Will AI become good enough to even replace senior devs fully before too many retired? Because if the answer is no, things are going to be interesting. And I doubt anybody can be able to predict what's going to happen then.

That's what happens when you treat Joe Rando who read a C# tutorial as the same as Joe Degree who spent $100k+ on a high fallutin' degree. Joe Degree is clearly better but Joe Rando is cheaper and can slap together some junk code to make the it seem like the project is done. No other engineering discipline does this and they don't have these hireability problems.

I dont think ai will replace junior coders until at least 2030 and most businessess will take until 2035 to actually implement it. Once implemented businesses will still want to keep some junior devs because it reduces risk of the ai messing up something. It will be similiar situation with self driving trucks, we will have drivers sitting in them for at least a decade after mass adoption. Risk assessment is a very real thing for businesses. No one is throwing a hail mary when they can slowly phase something in over a decade.

So I primarily deal with small-medium sized companies who are just going into the growth stage. The number 1 thing I see is the absolute refusal of staff to change and learn someting new. We all know that one person who's been in the position for 20 years and refuses to use Excel all because she's used to using her calculator. And there's no amount of coaching that you can do, they refuse and there's nothing you can do about it. These people are... EVERYWHERE. Now imagine you're trying to get someone to give up their job so that an AI can take it over. Yeah, good luck. To a certain extent, we are all ludites.

14:50 I think the biggest question will be if there are enough paying customers to make AI systems much smarter than GPT-4 et al, assuming that running smarter AI would be 10-100x more expensive because smarter AI needs so much computing power to run. If you had ChatGPT generate truly human-level responses but *every* response cost $1 or more, would you use it? If there are enough willing to pay for smarter AI, the progress will continue as fast as last couple of years. Right now it seems that computing costs raise exponentially compared to the intelligence that the system can show. It seems that there's no limit how smart AI system we could create even with the current design, but creating highly intelligent system would be insanely expensive.

Even if complete replacement is years away or impossible, imagine the dynamics of the job market while a productivity of an average engineer grows suddenly, say, 20% . The salaries in IT and the (on average) comfortable hiring process were both results of a job market dominated by employees. As soon as the balance changes, that's all gone. So even if practically the profession is not gone, it will stop being as lucrative.

9:50 As I see it, when AGI is invented (my guess is still around year 2030), there's no need to have average humans do verification of generated code nor write tests or be prepared to generate hot fixes when something fails in production. AGI can do all that just fine. It will take years more until the AGI is better at everything than the *best human* at the same task. But most companies employ a lot of average people and replacing those with average level AGI is going to be pretty simple. And it will happen fast once AGI is cheaper to use than humans. For a couple of years, many people will feel that they can compete with AGI if they cut their salary. And that may allow having higher standard of living than the people that will not cut their salary on principle and will end up without a job as a result. But AI will get cheaper every year and it will not be long until AGI will take all jobs that a worker with average skill for that field can do.

I've been writing software professionally for 20+ years and I see future of software development that I'll be competing in *communicating* with normal people about their needs for new software. Once normal people feel that they can more successfully explain their ideas to AI than to me, then AI will take my job. Until then, I see future software development as I communicate with normal people and I then communicate with the AI and fix possible mistakes that future AI still makes. Right now, the AI can do pretty little compared to my output but I'm fully expecting future AI systems will be smarter and smarter every year and at some point the future AI will produce better code for a clearly specified requirement spec. I'm still not sure how long it will take until AI can communicate with normal people so well that AI can get the requirements directly from the normal people so they can cut me off the chain. I would have probably 20+ years until retirement and I have trouble seeing the future where my current work cannot be done with high level AGI which some will call ASI. And I can only hope that we switch to universal basic income (UBI) or something similar until the society collapses because so many people will be miserable otherwise.

If I understood correctly, Devin already costs hundreds of dollars to use for even simple tasks. That's not a threat to human programmers at that cost level, especially when Devin is not yet at even jurior developer level. However, give it a couple of years and it's at junior developer level and costs $0.10/h to run and trying to get any new human developers to senior level is going to be really really hard because all junior positions will be taken by AI.
