Software engineering is a mindset, a way of doing something while thinking forward (and I don’t mean just scalability), at least if you want it done with quality. Today you can’t vibe code but proofs of concept, prototypes that are in no way ready for production.

I don’t see current LLMs overcoming this soon. It appears that they’ve reached their limits without achieving general AI, which is what truly would obsolete programmers, and humans in general.

    Yeah why is it always coders that are supposed to be replaced and not a whole slew of other jobs where a wrong colon won't break the whole system?

    Like management or C-Suits. Fuck I'd take chatgpt as a manager any day.

    programmers, and humans in general

    With current levels of technology, they would require humans for maintenance.
    Not because they don't have self-replication, because they can just make that if they have a proper intelligence, but because their energy costs are too high and can't fill AI all the way.

    OK, so I didn't think enough. They might just end up making robots with expert systems, to do the maintenance work which would require not wasting resources on "intelligence".
