We used to call the job Analyst Programmer. I am not sure what thing your code did but I am pretty sure you needed it - but who could understand that gap existed ? Who could explain to an AI that it needed to create this obscure code to solve that problem. And now comes the hard part - persuading your organisation to adopt it.
AI can code - but can it understand what it missing from the organisation and persuade it to chnage - to spend years at industry conferences?
Look at Starliner.
NASA just announced that Boeing stuffed up, not with an engineering mistake (no one still knows exactly what broke) but that the whole organisation is so screwed up and so political Nasa just don’t believe Boeing can fix it.
AI cannot fix our turf wars. That’s not intelligence (humans know going to war is bad, but Putin still exists). I ye the systems we live in, and work in.
Changing those is feasible - once they are coded, transparent and open To inspection in a democracy.
We need programmable introspective systems of organisation - democracies in other words.
The engineering was not the problem - the problem was the organisation was more or less toxic and incapable of doing engineering. Writing code that won’t get used because if politics is a job we and AI can both do.
