If this number is anywhere near accurate across companies, this might end up having far ranging consequences that we're not ready for. Aside from the obvious unemployment of those replaced by AI, why would anyond still want become CS/IT graduate? Might as well close down 70% of CS/IT departments.
- lionkor 2y agoI believe only people with a serious lack of skill and lack of drive to change that are in danger here. When AI starts to produce compilable non-trivial code, I'll consider changing my mind, but that has yet to happen. Visual Studio can auto suggest me stuff while I'm refactoring, that easily saves me an hour a week of work during a busy week. The rest of my work can't be automated by any current AI, because most of my work is thinking, debugging and testing. LLMs can only go "Oh, i'm so sorry, let me just try brute forcing the problem! Heres another variation of the solution, please spend 5-15 minutes testing it to exhaustion!" - "Ah, my bad, heres another fix that doesnt work: ..."... etc.

- torginus 2y agoI believe it's the other way around - most people who have computer science degrees have attended university with a rigorous math, engineering and theoretical computer science curriculum. And despite that, they struggle to use any of it in any meaningful capacity. Months can go by before I get to solve a good DS & A problem in production. Most of my job consits of fighting with the mundane drudgery of fighting with cloud providers or getting crappy frameworks to do what I want. I think the value of people who have a deep understanding is about to skyrocket.
