As a software engineer, a part of me dreads that day, as this may be the beginning of the end of our profession as it is. But then when I think of it, the AI that can accomplish this will be trained using existing code as a learning sample, and not just static code, it will learn by looking at commits and how code evolves over time, so it is bound to also learn to write bugs, change its mind on design, refactor things that need not refactoring, do premature optimization, rewrite it all in go/rust/the newest cool language on the block, then get stuck because all of its questions got closed as non constructive on stackoverflow, So maybe we'll still have a job after all.
