Honestly, this just seems like another tool. An amazing one, yes, but a tool nevertheless.
> Soon coding without an AI will feel as antiquated as delivering food by horse. And resistance is futile because markets will punish those who refuse.
The same way coding without Internet feels antiquated, or coding without autocomplete, or coding without fast compilation times...
If anything, progression of tools has shown several things:
- That the more tools we have, the faster we can work and iterate, the more value we can deliver in less time.
- That IT work doesn't ever end. Tons of IT jobs exist only to support IT itself. The arrival of AWS made sysadmins "obsolete" but on the other hand created the need for SRE and DevOps engineers.
- The existence of tools that let "laypeople" do IT work do not really delete those jobs. Tons of "nocode" tools exist so that people can build their own websites, applications, etc. But designers, coders still exist.
- People still stay behind. Tons of companies still run on a crappy NFS that's hosted in the IT guy closet. Others don't have a webpage and use an @hotmail.com address for email (if they even have email!). The market punishes, yeah, but not that hard.
