I think a lot of confusion and frustration about this is the assumption that all programming is the same thing.
I have seen areas with just tons of boilerplate, straight forward UI stuff, basic test skeletons, etc that I guess could work with AI.
But personally, in 30 years I’ve just never done much of that kind of work. Probably because I find it boring. I go look for hard or novel problems, or data structures and APIs that are causing problems (overgrown and hard to use, buggy, etc). A lot of the time is just figuring out what the authors expected the code to do, and anticipating what we will need for the next few years. I don’t see AI helping much with that.

- lokar 2y agoI’m probably just old, but IMO the main problem I see with Jr devs is a lack of “taste” I don’t see AI helping
- bakuninsbart 2y agoCan that "taste" be measured in Dollarinos?
