AI won't take your job, but 5 devs are going to be replace by 1 dev + AI ð . I am only upset that most university programs are going to be on Artificial Intelegence and Data Science, no more Computer Science ðŠĶ
I've done hobbyist-level programming for the since my first programming class in 1992. I'm starting an MS program in SWE at Kennesaw State University in January 2023.
Before the widespread proliferation of large-scale, industrial weaving machines, weavers made really, really good money and wielded a lot of power. They would wear the equivalent of a $50 bill in the brim of their hat just to show how wealthy they were.
When industrial production came along, the Luddites (groups of weavers led by a fellow weaver named Ned Ludd) went on a rampage and destroyed equipment that they saw replacing them and reducing their power and income.
Are there any parallels between software engineers of today and the Luddites of the early 1800s?
Wow, thx for the history lesson. As to your question, I have no idea, but we've seen the same thing happen a bajillion times. The printing press anyone ...? ;)
I think that with the AI some roles can disappear and it's normal in the technological advancement. But at same time some roles disappear, new roles are created. As you said: "Nothing new under the sun". We started this game aware that we need to keep a studying routine and being informed about new technologies.
This is kind of when book printing was new - everyone thought they'd lose their jobs but it actually created a lot of new jobs, just made a couple of the old (tedious) jobs slightly obsolete.
I cut my first commercial code (Telcomp) at Time Sharing Ltd in the UK. I'm long since retired but remain fascinated by software development technologies.

Yes. Fear of losing your job...

Thanks for you article.

Word :)
This is really well put. Not that I wasn't already aware of this, but I wasn't exactly sure how to verbalize it.
I love that
Thx mate :)

Can chatGPT use a hammer as well as fix my code then? Must check that one out - I've got a staircase to build
Hahahaha :D
