are you saying that all of the programmers you’ve met in real life have automated their work away and are coasting while waiting for their bosses to fire them…?
…if not, they’ve found developer work that ai can’t do yet, no?
That was not my point. Maybe we interpret "can't do their job" differently. That said, outside of HN I don't know anyone writing code by hand anymore except people that can't use it due to compliance or work on PLC stuff.
