I really love do coding in python and always asked myself when the skill set will become legacy like COBOL.
Not sure if you could compare it, but it seems that the next gen coders will say to the AI what to code rather than to code by themselves. A complete different skill set.
- lagrange77 4y agoI wouldn't say it's a completely different skill set. You still want to have people, who actually understand what a piece of code or program does. A magical black box to throw prompts at, might be nice for simple settings, but potentially can cause major fuck ups for complex systems.
- MichaelRazum 4y agoYeah sure, I just mean that it is like the step from COBOL -> JAVA -> Python in terms of productivity and the amount of code you write. So my point is, you would write much much less code. So maybe your future "code" would be just some sets of well placed comments and the AI does the rest. The same way you could test the system to prevent any major fuck ups. Sure you have to undestand it, but your core skill wouldn't be coding any more.
