My work is 90% business and 10% code. I do not see how we can have AI writing useful code on its own without also understanding lots of context about human society.
When I code something out, I have to first know which problem to solve, and why it’s a problem. I then have to understand the problem in minute detail. This usually involves a slew of human factors, desires, and interfacing with idiosyncratic systems that evolved a certain way because of human factors and desires.
- iandanforth 4y agoThis is a fair point, but you may lose 10% of your job. By the time one of our designers hands off their interactive Figma mocks to me this has already been figured out. I think there is plenty of specificity that is required to build things of value, but sufficient specificity is available from the people who don't code to allow a slightly better version of Copilot to do the implementation.
