I've been coding for 12+ years at some top tech companies. I think salaries will drop like a rock for anyone that is not absolutely top knotch. Claude 3.5 Sonnet can code a near perfect UI widget from a screen shot. The game is over on this whole thing, software development as we know it is over. |

Not sure about Claude and "coding ui widgets", but a while ago I tried getting ChatGPT to make a simple demo program in C using some relatively new Linux-specific APIs. It spat out a piece of code that would not even compile, let alone work.
It was remarkably wrong. In the specifically interesting part, that is where it was supposed to use the relatively new Linux-specific APIs, it failed completely and used some POSIX-standard APIs (and used them wrong).
Dunno but it seems to me that some jobs are more at risk than others.

Also: I routinely have to work with software that is supposed to do A, B and C according to its documentation but does B, Ç, Σ in practice. If an LLM was to "read" the documentation and act on production according to that, production would burn in a couple of hours. I think I'll be fine for a while.
