What you need to do is unsubscribe entirely from all social media and stop reading news first thing in the morning. You have to remember that "Tobi" can't tell a pointer from a hole in the ground, and neither can Sam Altman. Nor can they tell you how any of the stuff they "build" actually works, or what its real capabilities are. Put simply, they're talking out of their ass.

I've been in this career for almost 30 years and there was no point in my career at which developers weren't going to "go away" real soon now (tm), replaced by "no code", or "visual programming", or those UML diagrams, or XML (remember that one?), or whatever the fuck. And yet we're still here, in greater numbers, and we make the most money you can make outside of Big Law and Wall Street. Something isn't lining up? You bet. You're probably just too young to have perspective.

This isn't the only field in which the claims of demise have been greatly exaggerated by people who have zero clue. The people who create this hype hope it will land on the younger generation which is less immune to it and/or has a shorter attention span. Preferably, on people who haven't been through a single major hype cycle before. Folks who have been around for a while eventually learn to smell at least some kinds of bullshit from pretty far away.

Full disclosure: I'm a researcher in this field (though not in coding assistance per se). Your profession is not in danger in the foreseeable future, assuming you do something that requires actual intelligence. Your tooling will get a lot better though, so you'll have to type a lot less boilerplate. But I'm assuming that's not the part you take any particular pride in anyway. I certainly don't, so I use ChatGPT quite liberally for things I'd previously use Stack Overflow for.
