Why AI Won’t Replace Developers (at least until ~2030–2033)

We’re in the golden age of vibe-coding: people spinning up “SaaS” apps and “tools” in a weekend of prompting. But let’s be real, most of these vibe-coders have no idea what they’re building or how it actually works. The result? AI-generated spaghetti 💩, shiny, fast, and utterly doomed when the first bug shows up.

Sure, my own productivity has skyrocketed 🚀, I’m easily 5× faster now that I prompt instead of crawling Stack Overflow or reading docs.

But here’s the truth: you can’t prompt your way through building a compiler, a kernel, or a database. Those still require real understanding, logic, architecture, and a brain that actually knows what a pointer is 🧠.

So no, AI won’t replace developers anytime soon. It’ll just amplify the gap, real engineers will build the future, while vibe-coders will vibe… until their own code eats them alive ☠️.
