> Or so goes the gospel in the age of AI. I’m being totally sarcastic, I don’t believe in AI coding
You may think you are being sarcastic, but I guarantee that a significant percentage of developers think that both the following are true:
a) They will never need to write code again, and
b) They are some special snowflake that will still remain employed.
I don't agree with your first point. We are surely writing less code, and it will keep getting less and less. At some point it will reduce to a single run function that will make the universe and everything work and it will be called via a button, and that will be the modern definition of writing code: Click the button. Not a lot of keys with weird alphabet thingies on them.
You are however right on your second point because I'm damn good at clicking buttons.
