From my POV, this is how I see this going: many people from business-side believe that their job are much more important than developer's one, so that their job will be staying around forever and developer will one day disappeared from the product development. My answer to them is just simply like this: "If an AI is capability to replace such complexity work as programming itself, what make you think it will not replace your job first before mine?". This is just a simple fact for anyone who believe they will survive the AI replacement when it really happened.
Everybody think their are the main character in their own story, that their work is the most important, most value contribution, irreplaceable,... Especially when someone does not fully understand the true capability of the tools, they might overrate what it can do. That why so many businessmen believe AI will end the programmer's career - which is not true at all.
While AI - up to this point - can not yet fully replace the whole programming world (or any other jobs) at all, it can replace several fields of each jobs. Take our for example, maybe it will be replace developer who only able of doing general outsourcing tasks like: building basic UIs, coding the very basic CRUD operations,... Other more complex task that required more analysis, optimization,... will remain human required. Programming is easy, anyone can code, just open a console in your console and type: console.log("Hello, World") and waa-lah. But build an application that suit customer's requirement, comfortable for users to use, fast and reliable is completely different story, it is extremely hard, and up to this moment and to the near future, it is not what AI is capable to do, not mentioning all the version control, deployment and scaling stuffs.
Actually, the same thing happened before when not-that-AI-smart tools were born, take Excels for example: back in the early day, many people (especially those business-manage-related one) believe they will no longer need accountant, as the machine has do the work for them."I can do accounting myself, let just fire all accountant and save a lot of money" they might think, but as we have already know, this opinion is completely incorrect, the accountant is still needed till today, no company can operate sufficiently without them, just not as much as they used to, and their job is not as simple as they used to either. Back in the past, many parts of the accountant's work are done by hand writing, manual calculation, manual illustration and so on, therefore a company would need a lot of accountants to complete the work. Since the Excels is introduced, most of those mentioned would be done by computer, therefore not that much accountant will be needed anymore, those who can not work with Excels will be eliminated and those who can work with Excels will stay and get more salary, in the other words: the accountants has adapted with the change of time. Compare to engineering stuff, accounting is probably not as hard to do, but if a person - without proper accounting training - is unable to perform the work themself by using new technology as claimed, why does he/she think that she/he would be able to do programming?
So what do we learned from this? We, the developers, need to adapt too. AI may not be able to replace all of our job completely at the moment, but it is getting better and better everyday, and one day it will be able to complete what it can not right now. So if someone wanted to stay in this industry, they will need to adapt to work with AI. Programmers now will have to know how to work fast and efficiently with AI and they will have to be able to do hard work as all the easy-to-immediate things will be done by AI, those who can not full fill those criteria will be rejected.
Furthermore, as AI growing, it will bring new type of technology, new tech field will be born with little to zero data to pre-train the AI and perhaps, new type of programmer will be born too. The cycle will repeat again and again: a technology is born and the most simple task still required human interaction => new technology appear to optimize the task => new technology is born.... All we should do, and also all we can do, is to improve our knowledge everyday, so we will be able to adapt with new technology when it come.

I appreciate the perspective presented in this article, although I respectfully disagree with the notion that AI is a fad and programming is dead. While it's true that AI has garnered significant attention and hype in recent years, dismissing it as a passing trend overlooks the transformative impact it has had and continues to have across various industries.
Programming, as a skill, remains as vital as ever, even in the era of AI. While AI may automate certain aspects of coding and streamline certain processes, human developers still play a crucial role in designing, implementing, and maintaining these AI systems. Furthermore, programming extends far beyond just AI, with applications in web development, software engineering, data science, and more.
To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the evolving relationship between AI and programming, I invite readers to explore another insightful article at readmorr.com/is-it-worth-learning-.... It provides a balanced perspective on the value of coding skills and how they intersect with emerging technologies like AI.
Rather than viewing AI as a threat to programming, I believe it offers exciting opportunities for developers to leverage its capabilities and push the boundaries of what's possible. By embracing new technologies and continuously honing our skills, we can adapt and thrive in this ever-changing technological landscape.
