The best comment I read on this topic was "Before AI replaces us, our customers must first learn to precisely formulate what they actually want. We're safe."
Lmao, AI isn't replacing programmers anytime soon.
Thing is, computer tech tends to grow exponentially. If I were you, I'll start to learn a backup skill right now.
Lmao, I'm not a programmer although i know how, and even if I was I wouldn't be worried for good reason. AI requires explicit instructions for everything. So in order to use it to code you need to be a programmer.
I'm not a programmer and I've used it to code. It rarely works the first time around, but I'm sure it will improve quickly to be more accurate.
I'm also not worried. Software complexity generally grows proportional to the complexity of the requirements. And most projects I've been a part of, no one could have told you all the requirements even after we've figured them out.
The code + test code is usually the only document that describes the requirements. And with high-level languages, there's not that much boilerplate around the codified requirements either. Besides, we can use LLMs for that boilerplate ourselves.
If an AI was made that was smarter than programmers, couldnt it make a smarter AI, which could make an even smaryet AI repeating
Good luck when you’ll fix the bugs because I won’t do it.
Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!
This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!
