I still don't get why so many developers are making AI tools, improving AI and integrating AI. Great job removing your fellow developers and yourselves from the working force in the future, then.

Yeah I know you are going to laugh at this old silly me who are not 100% with advancements of human society. Go ahead and have fun while you can.

But let me say this: I get why GN thinks like this. I get why corporation leaders claim that AI could replace developers, whether it is true or not. I get why John Carmack and other similar tier programmers are trying to make GenAI. But if you are one if the rest, a.k.a. mediocre developers, good luck promoting and making AI tools.

Why?

Maybe they want to follow the trend and cut off some costs along the way? Or maybe they geniunely believed that AI can increase productivity by X% so they can hire X% less?

Money. Capitalism is designed to make people put making money over adhering to a value system.

And looking at how well these companies pay, I don’t think I’d be the one to make an exception.
