What you guys think how AI influences the progress of programming. In two years the profession will look a lot different than today. I’m a designer and even today I’m pretty much able to make apps for myself practically without coding. This will only get simpler with complex apps. I’m not saying they are coded well, but they work. In two years, in less, probably in a few months there will be swarms of ai agents programming the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we won’t need you, the experienced programmers, but how much jobs will there be for new people?
And I know there is a lot of ai hate on lemmy so please spare me with that.
I use it all the time. I can’t imagine my work or my life without it. I need it to work as a designer. I use it to brainstorm, I use image generation for everything from moodboards to helping me with final designs. I’ve started to also program, because for a lot of tasks I don’t need a developer anymore.
I use it to help me write emails, social media posts, to translate,… I use it to ask for any trivia I’m interested in during the day. I use it for music recommendations,…
I could probably go on… But my work, my job is completely different than it was a year ago.
You have to understand it well enough to know what stuff you can rely on. On the other hand nowadays there are often sources there, so it’s easy to check.
I won, because I found lemmy.

And it’s not about how this can’t completely replace developers. Maybe not today, but this product will just get better and better and better. This thing never sleeps and it costs way less than a developer. I think there are uncertain years ahead. Right now, I think that if I was at a point of my life to choose my career, I’d choose something that can’t be done remotely on the computer.
