AI cant invent, it can only derive or create from existing code. Cant tell the AI.. create the code that will grant me time travel powers. Probably wont work. These people just use it to copy and put together. I want my app to look like this app, runs like this other app, but it is to sell polka dot socks. Its just 1 step above templates.
99% of programming can be distilled down to templates. The AI just puts those templates together far quicker than the best human programmer.
The other 99% of programming is interpreting functional requirements. There's always going to need to be someone out there capable of breaking down a system into manageable, interoperating chunks that produce a working "program," even if the tools we use to generate a "program" change drastically.
AI coding will end up putting a lot of Indian devs out of business, then. Because "copy-paste somebody else's code so my app runs like shit" is their niche.
Applying actual intelligence will remain the domain of human programmers.
That said, "write an API hook that ties this variable to that variable" programming will be replaced in short order.
basically only people that can innovate, create and advance will be useful to be kept around.
Squarespace and Wordpress already exist for those.
AI might make them even cheaper. That means more mom and pop shops being able to sell their products online. This is a great thing.
Yup. And mom and pops haven’t been able to afford decent programmers for 20 years. If you want to hire me, you better be building Shopify itself and not a small storefront. I’m too expensive to build things Wordpress can do just fine.
