Ask HN: Will AI Replace Developers?

[danver0]

we are living in tech bubble from twitter to HN to reddit, many smart tech founders say the same thing, but i don't see that they are 100% right

In the sense of LLMs becoming competent enough, no, it's extremely unlikely.

In the sense of "smart tech founders" and C-suite executives in general using AI hype as an excuse for layoffs and understaffing, that's absolutely in the realm of possibility, and already happening in some places.

[nacozarina]

it already made programmers obsolete and is about to make programming languages obsolete

the only human-readable artifacts will be design & verification inputs

rich ppl will still hire serfs to patiently listen to their desires and handhold their decision-making

and subsequently SW will still appear

but the production process isn’t going to resemble anything we’ve trained for

[reify]

simply. NO!
