It's a similar waste of my time to respond to comments like this... but I will at least try to give some pointers so that those who encounter this comment won't immediately fall into that line of thinking: - a lot of programmers, including experienced ones, are absolutely infantile and they only have a job because there is a big shortage of programmers; not all of them get better with experience... hence a significant part of software development is dealing with problematic programmers and problems created by them. - GPT is not that great a programmer but a great thing about it is that it is not a human... and one can get thousands of instances of them for the price of one human. You only need one of those instances to produce usable code. - there have been many changes throughout the years which have definitely replaced a lot of programmers: library distribution services (pypi, npmjs), better software development tools and practices, SaaS delivery model, better programming languages etc.; so far, because the market need for programmers has continued to increase, most programmers continue to have jobs; this won't last forever.
