In this scenario, if AI does a not so good job, there will still be good developers left to code.

  Sure, the problem then becomes finding the ideal ratio between good "proper" programmers and AI code monkeys. Also, it'll be interesting to see how LLM prompt writing develops as a skill unto itself.

    > it'll be interesting to see how LLM prompt writing develops as a skill unto itself. MIT already offers an online prompt engineering course as of a year ago so I'm sure it already has.

  Maybe. It might be that the “industry” continues on without good code, slowly dying.

    If bad code could kill the software industry, it would be long dead by now.

      Definitely a fair point. But I observe that dS/dt may not be positive already.
