This is like saying: nobody can do woodworking with with manual tools anymore these days, because there are machines since 30 years that do woodworking. There will be always a room for good developers.

Banking software. No place to hurry there. Also, changing a job is two-side process. they need to like you and you need to like them. If you find that too many developers are going out, too many job offers from their side, that might mean t

> One of the reasons the AI fails constantly is that it has no context of the entire code base. I had the same issue, take your time and describe the context. Create a documentation out of the project. I used BMAD for this. It created a

Sometimes, managers are lazy and don't work, and they think that the employees don't work as well. And something it is pure bureaucracy. I once worked for a bank, as a contractor. A team in the bank responsible for the auditing as

Reading a book, I do for fun. to get the stress away. Reading a novel is a whole new experience. To feel the story, imagine the characters, imagine how they feel, how they think. To really hate the bad guy.... AI can't replace that!

Even changing the technologies can be really hard. I usually use Java and GoLang. I decided to do an Android app with Kotlin. I hit all the Android/Kotlin specifics. Because of my technical skills, I managed to overcome most of the pro

Communication skills. IF you can't express yourself, the AI won't be able to understand you. I see in the morning subway, people don't talk, they watch their devices. A whole generation prefer to scroll in social media, inste

Product Hunt, Beta List, Alternatives To, they are like polluted. And really valuable and meaningful products just can't excel, because people just can't see them. And this is pity. :(

I have not though about it from that angle. When I started developing 15-16 years ago, the IDEs were already here. I still use Eclipse daily. ;)

Not easy for all of us. It is a game-changer and we need to adapt. There will be a room for everybody, an AI development, and manual development. There are places, where AI just can't be used, like banking, military, government project

I think that you are underestimating the complexity. You need to deal with the specifics of different OEMs. You need to be absolutely sure that you are covering all cases, where the OEMs can stop the app. Testing and fine-tuning took more t

I doubt. Experience dev can't make 400+ files and write 2000 tests in a weekend. At least, I was never that fast and productive ;) With my experience, developing android apps in Java, 10-15 years ago, such project would need at least 2

:) It will be really stupid from my side to just let it go, without being sure that it will work. I am a professional after all, with almost 20 years of experience. There are 2000+ tests, 50K+ lines of testing code. I tested myself, and a l

IF you don't check the code, you can't navigate correctly the UI. The AI is non-deterministic, and you can never be sure, that it will produce the same quality and use the same approach everytime. Even, with all the rules, lessons

So far, from source code perspective, I see good results. Things that yesterday Opus 4.6 was not able to fix in multiple iterations, today Opus 4.7 fixes immediately. It is not only the model that affects the end results. Good technical spe
