If you can't even replace one coding model with another, it's hard to imagine you can replace human coders with coding models.
- diggan 1y agoWhat you mean "can't even replace"? You can, nothing in my comment says you cannot?
- Philpax 1y agoYou probably can't replace a seasoned COBOL programmer with a seasoned Haskell programmer. Does that mean that either person is bad at programming as a whole?
- reverius42 1y agoThis was my point -- if programmers are not fungible, how can companies claim to be replacing them by the thousands with AI?
- Philpax 1y agoYou don't need to use the same model/system for every task. "AI" isn't a monolith; there's a spectrum of solutions for a spectrum of problems, and figuring out what's applicable to your problem today is one of the larger problems of deployment.
