I’ve gotten this a couple times so one thing to clear up: At this point I think AI coding is akin to having a new compiler, and the language is just natural text (often specs). LLMs do not currently have the capability to make good engineering decisions past a certain level of complexity

I have no idea if this changes, but if we froze progress here, I’d say the job is far from dead, it just involves a new higher level programming language

I’d also wager that getting AI to do good work in any profession requires the same level of domain expertise to check and guide the work, eg law
