If your job is to write code to specification (basically fill out the functions as instructed), then yes, you may need to be worried. However, I've never seen a person doing that. The largest part of a dev job is not figuring out what to write, but how to structure the codebase so it doesn't become a nightmare really quickly. I, for one, would appreciate any help writing more code quicker because it would let me spend more time figuring out and fixing architectural problems. I recently had to jump into a new project without my usual IDE setup of code navigation, interactive debugger, and code analysis and my productivity dropped by 90%. Needless to say, I invested the time to get it working again. When I started working professionally, most codebases were a few thousand lines of code. Now I frequently run into repos with several hundred thousand lines of code. These are sheer impossible to navigate without IDE help. So no, I don't think AI is going to take the job of anybody I know, it will just make our jobs more efficient and enable us to manage working on even more compex codebases. My advice? Learn how to use an IDE really well.
