what makes me optimistic is that first, the changes will be too massive, so many things will change to even start going on about it... and secondly, all these are part of the changes we been wanting as humanity all along
i also think that AI will make the impact of the wrong mentalities of many bosses even more visible
True, thats how it is now, i m using the latest claude sonnet and albeit the results are pretty good, it can still be on some dumb stuff. But we are still in earlier stages and there is no telling what it might do in the future. Also, using such AI tools be interacting with them as normally might have them not work as effeciently as they can due to not knowing or forgeting structures, extra requirements, etc in the code. However, the platforms i talked about create the project on their own environment, which makes it easier for them to create something without going all over the place it seems. I m more worried on such tools that can operate with just creating immediate visible results based on requests from the user, without him needing to view and implement the suggested code himself and all
Thing is that a company might not need 10 programmers but 1 programmer in the future for arguements shake. This is a big blow to the demand-supply ratio, especially for juniors who ve been having it quite hard already. At least i plan on staying in my company till i have become experienced enough so i wont be as threatened probably, but still makes one wonder on how much the landscape will change... And indeed conforming to the new standards is the key
thats an actual hopeful answer cause it makes sense and its closer to what i ve been thinking it might be like... i d say that the real threat though is in the future cause AI will be do more stuff and better, hard to stick to predictions the further we go in the future though
