Or more likely decimate Junior and most Middle positions, nah? There are a lot of ppl still critical how good LLMs at big projects ie Windows 11 vibe code debacle. Not a proponent just asking
In my opinion that’s just boomers having a skill issue and programmers whose entire identity is being a good programmer reacting emotionally.
Are there some devs in the world better than SOTA models? Yes, but the number is fewer every day and if we continue at this rate soon there be zero. But for speed and efficiency? There is no human that can move at 1/10 of the speed of codex or Claude code. That bridge has been crossed.
You could call me a fair to middling coder but as you know everything is so specialized these days, my focus has been smart contracts and according to some numbers I was pretty elite globally for that niche. I wouldn’t even try to compete with AI.
Most of the horror stories you hear are boomers just button mashing and using AI incorrectly and then saying GOTCHA when it deletes production data. Yes, it’s not retard proof, but is it even possible for an LLM to be retard proof and still have universal capability? I don’t think so.
Frontier labs are doing magic with LLMs and eating their own dogfood at every step. Soon it will be suprahuman and then we will never go back.
It’s normalcy bias, normies who aren’t close to it say nothing ever happens, but something sometimes happens and im watching, im inside it, it’s happening to me now.
