If this is your experience of programming, then I feel for you, my dude, because that sucks. But it is definitely not my experience of programming. And so I absolutely reject your claim that this experience represents "99% of programming" -- that stuff is rote and annoying and automate-able and all that, no argument, but it's not what any senior-level engineer worth their salt is spending any of their time on!
- NewsaHackO 1y agoPeople who don’t do 1)API connecting, 2)Web design using popular frameworks or 3) requirements wrangling with business analysts have jobs that will not be taken over by AI anytime soon. I think 99% of jobs is pushing it, but I definitely think the vast majority of IT jobs fit into the above categories. Another benchmark would be how much of your job is closer to research work.
