My husband has been in the assembly line for a large company, and in 2010 or so many were screaming that robots will be taking over factory jobs or whatever. And here we are, in 2024, not much has changed. Rumors are not always true. There are things Ai can do, and there are things only humans can do.

[@jfost281]

Hmm? I'm curious, where is he working? Quite a bit has changed since 2010 and automation is a trend reducing factory jobs over the decades. I agree with this video in view of the overreaction to AI replacement for Software engineering, but automation is very much an issue many workers face.

[@tagnetorare5401]

[@programmingwithmosh]

Alright, let's be honest. If AI ever gets so good it can take over coding jobs, it's not just us who should be worried. Every industry is gonna change. So, freaking out and ditching your coding journey? Not the smartest move. Now's the time to get even better, to learn and grow alongside AI. Thoughts?

[@TheDevil939]

the thing is that we would be cooked before other professions, at the current state AI is not that concerning but looking at how it is increasingly getting better and we don’t know if there’s a limit to it getting better and can be trained on literally everything then ignoring the problem is not the smartest idea either

[@TheCodeholic]

Decade ago only HTML/CSS was enough to get a job, now almost all design softwares have ability to generate HTML/CSS code. things changed... You need to know at least a frontend framework to get a job... I agree to Mosh. We should evolve and use AI to improve ourselves. We should not stay like only HTML/CSS developers. And IMO it is very unlikely that even very experienced developers to be replaced by AI. Thanks Mosh for the video

[@raba9808]

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't just a subplot in the tech industry; it's a narrative swiftly unfolding, with real implications for the future of programming jobs. Picture this: within the next decade, AI's capability to outperform humans in coding tasks isn't just probable; it's inevitable. This technological leap isn't just about efficiency; it's a magnifying glass over the existing disparities among programmers of varying skill levels. Now, let's narrow down to specific sectors, like national security. Think contractors for the Navy; here, the narrative shifts. AI's takeover isn't straightforward due to the intricate web of national security concerns. The prediction? A new era where contractors develop proprietary AI solutions, transforming AI from potential job usurper to indispensable tool for human programmers. This isn't a loss of jobs but a recalibration of roles, where AI enhances human capability rather than replacing it wholesale. However, for entrepreneurs at the helm of start-ups, the calculus is different. AI offers a tantalizing proposition: a way to bypass the substantial costs of hiring human coders. It's a cost-effective, efficient solution that aligns perfectly with the lean, agile methodologies that define the start-up world. This shift promises a new business landscape where programming becomes a more accessible tool, democratizing the ability to create and innovate. Yet, this evolution isn't without its caveats. As businesses increasingly lean on AI for their programming needs, the demand for human programmers won't vanish but will instead pivot towards seeking highly skilled programmers. This recalibration hints at a future where the programming job market becomes more competitive, a battleground for the exceptionally talented. Yet, this isn't a zero-sum game. The proliferation of AI in programming also lowers the entry barrier to coding, inviting a broader swath of the population to engage with programming. This newfound accessibility could spur a widespread increase in programming literacy, fostering a deeper, more universal appreciation for the art and science of coding. In essence, we're on the cusp of a programming renaissance, catalyzed by AI. It's a future where the role of human programmers evolves, but the essence of programming becomes more embedded in the fabric of society than ever before.

[@asharullah353]

I have one question Mosh. While you have made it clear that AI can't replace the human-interaction aspect of Software Engineer. Is it not true that most of the Software Engineering Workforce comprises of individuals who are not directly dealing with the client? So a Software house can work on just two Engineers, one who deals with clients, and the other who monitors the AI doing its work to make the Software. So are mass AI driven Layoffs not already expected?

[@TyoussefPureLander]

I think The problem is that a lot of these coding companies will disappear cus ai services will replace them. For example u can have one big company that's using ai and they can build a CRM for your company in minutes, and this one company will put alot of companies that are integrating crm's for other companies

[@KarlaKloppstock]

I wonder why so many others, pretend that "all jobs are lost"? Do they want to lower the pay for coding or do they want to create a shortage of coders?

Thank you for the video. Even chatgpt created this hype about coding but the reality is it often write statements that does not even exists

[@hitmusicworldwide]

I have seen a lot of developers that write junk code too. And isn't the writing of junk code something that just about everyone does in the beginning? We are all foolish if we think that this advancement in technology which is just about a year or two old is a dead end. That's just wishful thinking.

[@Whiztlex]

​@@hitmusicworldwideYeah a lot of people fail to realize that what we're seeing right now is in the fetus stage. Actually maybe not even fetus stage, the semen is on its way to fertilize the egg. That's the stage of development this technology is at, and to be this good at that stage.. Holy shit! AI will progress, A FUCKING LOT and FAST.

[@sagniksaha4179]

Yeah it's true but we can't sit still by thinking about the future. people are declining coding by thinking that AI will take over. But this is not the right time. At this moment we are still at a point where coding is safe. I don't know about the future but yes you were correct the AI is at the baby stage and will evolve fast. Also in industry there is a lot more going on than simple projects. There are complicated projects that at this point is not even possible for AI to handle. The biggest thing is the context window of AI. I have seen projects that contains 100 files with 1 file with 6000 lines of code. So I believe coding is safe at this point but yeah may be in future with much more powerful AI we need to be aware. Not only us but all of us. Thank you @hitmusicworldwide and @Whiztlex for sharing your views. I respect that

[@decastring]

Like you, I've been in this industry for a very long time. You started on a C64, I started on an Apple IIe. Trying not to be that old, arrogant programmer, I started having concerns about the AI takeover. But then considered the non-technical aspects of software development like complex and dynamic client requirements, and old, undocumented, confusing legacy systems. That's when I figured I'd be OK. Mosh, thanks for confirming my conclusions!

[@programmingwithmosh]

Those old, legacy systems would always need human software engineers. AI may generate a new project from scratch and do a good job for simple CRUD apps, but those old systems, forget it!

[@nisalzoysa2111]

So you guys are talking very limited area on SE world. What about the other side ? /\#|

[@decastring]

@@nisalzoysa2111 Mosh's video was specifically about the impact of AI on software engineering, so the discussion, though limited in scope, is all relevant. As for AI's impact on other areas of IT, the first area that will be heavily impacted is likely cyber security. The red team is already using AI, so the blue team needs to step up and apply AI for IDS and remediation.

[@springroll58]

say it louder for the people in the back, sir! people are scared we're gonna get displaced but from an optimistic point of view, I see more work being created and people's skills will have to update towards merely being observant and a good communicator. A.i. is great at what it's tasked to do but it still needs to be tasked to do it. People will basically evolve into being ceo's and managers, with a.i. as their subordinates. but also, I know nothing.

[@hitmusicworldwide]

​@@programmingwithmosh Those old legacy systems are all based upon machine language at the end of the day. Once the contextual limitations are conquered, AI will have no problem figuring out what was done, why it was done, and even the way it was done, as well as whether the doing was the most efficient way. Currently, AI has been able to translate ancient languages that we had not figured out ourselves and is not human thought and language one of the most complex concepts to work through? There are infinitely more iterations along the journey of human thought than the capabilities of an 8088 processor

Companies will only need a couple of developers instead of 100 developers to run or develop their apps with upcoming new AI tools that will be capable of generating and reviewing millions of lines of code in just seconds.

The more routine jobs inside a company will be covered by AI tools alone and most companies will only hire TOP class creative engineers that will work along side with AI tools like Devin to create things more efficiently and faster. Medium and junior developers will be completely fucked by this time and won't be needed anywhere. Most developers will turn into freelancers doing small jobs or they can create their own small companies/businesses themselves, which is not easy.

Thank you, Mosh!! It's very useful to know your opinion on this matter.

In systems where ethical or confidentiality issues are involved, humans will, in my opinion, remain more reliable.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

Good to know that you can have an opionon that lacks ANY logic at all. You code like that? Because you talk of AI doubling in capacity every year and make prognosis for decades... WHOW.

[@turokwishan1073]

I want to shed light on this topic of AIs. I had experience in the games industry, in the development of mobile applications, websites and now more recently in business. This AI tool will only automate what is repetitive, offer solutions, implementations without having to look in the documentation. It would be like a GPS that you can use or not. GPS won't replace you as the driver of the car. Yes, many of the things will be able to be implemented instantly with the help of AI, but that is also the idea. It goes from the era, or the period in which you have to do things, to the period in which you need to automate processes, and what you are required to do to will be more creative. Instead of writing 200 lines of code to create an authentication, you make use of AI and it generates that snippet, but you, like a good architect who knows the basics of programming, you adapt the generated code to fit your needs. One last analogy I could say is that of the man who goes shopping. Instead of doing groceries by yourself, you have an application that issues the invoice, finds the delivery person, sends the SMS and notifies you about the process. The application does not replace you, but simplifies the process, so that you have time to do, as Mosh said, the creative side, maybe thinking about how it would look, if it were even more efficient, so that the food, now, can be prepared by a robot, and served at your desk.

[@ThomasTomiczek]

Even if you trust that the process will be fine, I'm pretty sure there are tons and tons of companies waiting for AI to get better, and in the meantime they just collect data and resumes from us. Like, very few companies have gave me the4 chance of interview and i did everything as I use to do many years ago for the application process, but now they just want you to be the ultimate best or maybe the recruitment process is pure trash. Up to this point, I'm thinking of making my own software, the only problem, I need money, and without money i can't function as a human beign. So yeah, I'm in that endless loop of thought.

A few days ago I went back to my old job in the healthcare field, and I realized that no one is going to automate someone willing to stand for seven hours straight and deal with sick people.

"I realized that no one is going to automate someone willing to stand for seven hours straight and deal with sick people." - nice, To suck. Look at the videos of robots coming. They automate that. Give it some years.

[@davejake771]

Open issues I think of.Vendor lock in. Maintenance. Availability/cost of power for datacenters. Software framework improvements/maintenance/ quality impoverishement. Sustainability of AI companies if/when AI writes its own Ai code.

[@NotHuman-bc1cc]

Hey Mosh!!. Please do many of these types of videos, apart from education videos like courses. You have much knowledge in this field.

[@programmingwithmosh]

Will do! Email me the topics specifically you want me to talk about: [e-mail]

[@macolulu]

Thank you for this video. So warmheated. But really, nowadays the job market is becoming more and more challenging. It is related to AI or the economy?

[@simongardner3766]

A general rule with programming has always been that the higher level that you go, the less control you have. Converting whats in your mind in to natural language is much harder then just typing the code, if you have a specific vision. Asking Devin to write a game I would like based on other games I play is unlikely to give me exactly what I want, unless I write the whole thing out as a formal spec and use it as the prompt. On a lower Human plus AI level, Copilot is useful, but for me it's main job is to make up for the deficiencies in documentation, code examples, and project templates of the API I am trying to make work saving me a trip to StackOverflow. Ironically its usually the same company responsible for both. Just out of interest, I wonder if AI hallucinates because it does not sleep. It's when humans do the tidying up and can hallucinate if they haven't slept for a long time. Sounds silly, but AI is supposed to be based the human brain. Perhaps it needs a tidying algorithm.

[@dagmfreseid2063]

Thank you so much, Mosh. I've been struggling so hard lately. Could you please make a video for us aspiring self-taught junior developers, particularly on how we can excel and stand out from the competition considering the current job market?

[@rezadadu3287]

Motivation increased again. Thanks mosh

[@sugmahub]

He's doing this because he's selling his course 😂 this is what people motivated when chatgpt came now look within a year this devin come imagine another year passes by

[@Nik-rx9rj]

@@sugmahubyou’re correct 👍 If people saw that programming was becoming a thing of the past then he couldn’t sell his courses to “learn to code.” You’re right

[@ezracramer1370]

@@sugmahub I bet that you probably did not do much of programming/coding yourself. But if you believe that every engineer will be replaced by Devin, go ahead 🤣 It does not concern you either way. That is actually why most people think like this. When they see that "ai programmed flappy bird" they are blown away.

[@sugmahub]

@@ezracramer1370 your betting is wrong I solved 147 plus leetcode problems over the past year bruteforce worst time complexity solved on My own but gpt able to put in best time complexity imagine if that exists see rapid growth in the ai industry before 1 year there were many companies hiring people with more digits nowadays after gpt very bad ,hiring like experienced for freshers with worst digits and within a year devin come specifically targeting engineers and the scary part its also in initial stage but still debug code which most developers don't know if it continues imagine after 2 years it's gonna learn after releasing to the public

[@sugmahub]

@@ezracramer1370 are you a senior engineer?

[@fotbaliar.m3478]

Very enlighting Mr Mosh. I just want to know there courses sale in desplay underneath yourdescription are valid? because the link does not lead me to Code with Mosh website , please confirm because i will love to purchase while they are on sale.

[@toxicbreaker776]

Give it another 2-5 years and the headline will be "Why we dont use Devin the Ai to develop our system anymore"😂

[@JyotiRanjanSingh]

I believe until few years it will be companions.if all data are feeded by developer to write code with required logic. I think it will impact head counts in companies as at least 2-3 full stack project work will be easily handlers by a single engineer . But as stated all these are marketing to promote and get users base to use and feed the ai model. More data sent more it learns more strong it will be . Use this tools less ,learn more, code , code and code strong a person will be.

[@ashishkolarkar8448]

Great insight. Great relief.😮

[@kent_calvin]

Thanks for the video

[@jfost281]

A really good video. Thank you for sharing some much-needed critical thinking and a rational view, not more hype and hysteria. Undoubtedly, companies need to promote their products, but the immediate default 'we're all doomed' isn't exactly an accurate portrayal of the situation, nor does it help it either.

[@Travel_nBeyond]

I am currently leaning html, css,java script,sql . I bought these courses from you. Actually I am very new to this field. I am an accountant. But I want to learn software engineering. It’s quite difficult. But I will do it. Your teaching skills are superb. Thanks.. ❤

[@aashikdevelop3724]

Thank you mosh 🤩

[@davidabraham5325]

Thank you @programmingwithmosh bringing voice of reason and logic. AI, which is human built, is a tool for developers and an enabler for those who want to get into software. It can be like you have your own tutor. AI enables decentralisation of responsibilities but if certain actors, like microsoft, google, facebook and the like, want to convince the masses AI will replace humans then that is the centralisation methodology wanting total control by a few with total machine automation. But it can't happen as we humans need stuff to do and we invent things to help us do our jobs not replace us.

[@ericthered2252]

Like ChatGPT, I see it being a job enhancement, not a job replacer. Thanks for not being click-baity with the title of this video and for keeping a level head.

[@gad_rp]

Im a first year college software engineer student, and this whole devin thing is making me very anxious lol. I dont want to quit and stop learning, so what kind of programming thing should I try to study now? how can I find the most important area to go into? I was thinking of stuyding how to work along with these new AI's but how can I look for that to study lol?

[@yevhenliubarskyi1841]

Hey Mosh, I just wanted to express my gratitude to you. My career as a programmer goes quite good. In many aspects, this is because of your great courses and your fantastic talent to teach others. I will always regard you as my Teacher. You're a great man. Thank you!

[@geniuai]

I am so surprised that there are people out there who are still surprised by this as if no one knew that it's already available, and that it will be updated in two months that it will just be impossible to make flaws. It's such old news....

[@nonsookongwu1556]

One thing I know is that, Ai would never replace the emotions involved in building user friendly apps, communicating with founders or owners to know how best to solve their issues or the human interaction involved in building the app from the ground up.... Don't even get me started on building scalable apps.

[@asadgull7175]

Thanku sir for this amazing and much needed video i am learning web development and feeling sad after heeard the negative impact of devin in social media and totally disappointed and think.to.move. Someother field

[@Avant402]

Thank you so much Mosh! I’m just starting to code and so far I am truly enjoying it and learning a lot. Then the articles about AI doing away with software engineers caught my eye. I’m going to keep coding and not listen to the negative stuff😊

[@user-yp3og1fm3x]

Productivity booster? Yes 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@kumarp3515]

Mosh, this is big relief video, i was under panic attack since Devin is out!

[@yonigoldberg634]

May I ask, which software you use to craft these beautiful videos? is this your own custom design or some template (fonts, layout, etc)?

[@mazewinther1]

Absolutely 💯 I've been coding with AI for a year now, and I have to say, knowing how to code and understanding the code it provides is much easier. AI isn't even close to taking our jobs, as a human will always have to review the code carefully. My advice: If you have a project in mind you wanna build, and you're serious about it. Speed is key. Moving forward and focusing on the important things is key. If you can speed up some of the development by writing code with AI, and focusing on the important stuff, then that's a good strategy. On the other hand, if you just enjoy coding, and you also wanna build projects but coding is something you love to do, keep learning. Forget the AI, and do what you love.

[@victor25021983]

i like ur view. very calm. yet very logical.

[@anth9623]

I've been a doubt a lot recently over whether to continue as a software engineer, as it feels like the vice of my career every year is getting tighter, especially with tech like this, to be honest 😢😫

The solution for this, is for us to be more creative. Well said Mr Mosh🙏🙏🙏
