as a coder for 26 years and someone who has been coding heavily with ai since gpt3 I can say this is complete bullshit.

AI is really bad a coding for anything other than throw away tech demos. maybe newer models and architectures will fix this, but for now we still need people who actually know what they are doing.

when I preach about AI I'm not selling anything, or saying that everybody and your grandma will be making their own apps one day, or that classical coding is dead.

what I'm trying to say as urgently as I can is that if you're a coder and you're not all in into AI-assisted coding, then I hope you're an irreplaceable genius with some sort of extremely valuable and rare skill

... or you're 100% cooked

I've been coding my entire life. this is by far the biggest change I've witnessed. it's going to rip apart the job market for coders first.

as a colleague I tell you this: if you don't learn to master these new methods today, you're going to be flipping burgers in 5 years. guaranteed.
