As many alluded in the comments , here is what I envision 10 years from now.
best programmers will be in still in demand in 10 years.
Best programmers (who understand requirements well and write concise code, etc..) are only less than 1/3 of total programmer population as of TODAY. What 2/3 of the total programmers doing today can be done by 20% of this current 2/3 group at similar ( or better) quality with the help of COPILOT like tools.
This tedious task of finding answers will be the job of GPT Codex/Copilot in near future
Future of Coding is AI pair programming
Between 2025 -2030 GPT-8 Codex/Copilot kind of tools enable developers write "better" code, regardless of their SKILL LEVEL ( this is with the 2/3 programmer population as of TODAY).
Even in 2030 we still need best programmers, whose programming patterns will be still be input to GPT-10 kind of tools.
Like "Peak oil" , "Peak automobiles" ( we are almost there), we will be reaching "Peak programmers" in few short years, then decline from there onwards.
- LrnByTeach 4y agoCopilot ( and others in it's class) is a paradigm shift: What is software development: let AI generate most code then REVIEW code for accuracy, completion, security etc.. and test it What is NOT software development : "solving age old problems" via Stackoverflow By 2030 tools like Copilot create 'two-tier programmers' -Tier 1 (squeeze 10x from Copilot) : writes 'prompts' and 'function signatures' for AI tools likes of CoPilot as part of technical design, from which Copilot will generate 80% of the code -Tier 2: will check completeness & execute generated test suite
