Like I get the jokes, and I totally agree that they won’t totally replace the humans. But come on, the way an average coder writes anything nowadays has dramatically changed. Especially for web and app stuff. I’ve onboarded some junior/mid-level engineers recently, and it’s such a different experience compared to 5 years ago.
Yes, five years ago they were likely using different frameworks and tools. What does that have to do with improvements, either in AI or otherwise?
