Distributed backend specialist. Perfectly happy playing second fiddle—it means I get to chase fun ideas, dodge meetings, and break things no one told me to touch, all without anyone questioning it. 😇
This is exactly what I feel like I shout at least 3 times a day, even if it's just to myself because nobody else was listening 😆 I have a friend who is convinced that I am helping the AI take my job away from me. It doesn't matter what I say or how I try to debate his reality — that's his truth.
MY truth? As an actual developer, is that even if AI were to advance to the point of being logically capable (which we are still far away from — assuming that its even possible), there's ALWAYS going to be a human element required for great code. Innovation, design, advancement, and deep problem solving (just to name a few) cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence at a fundamental level. So as much as I enjoy having AI around to do all the little things I don't necessarily have to anymore, I'm exactly 0% threatened by the thought of it taking over and eliminating my usefulness to the either my employer or the industry as a whole.
The ones who are sitting back waiting for "the phase" to pass? Will eventually realize it's passing just as quickly as the "internet phase" or cell phones did. By that point, it may be too late to recover...
