Antirez's take is bold, and probably very scary for most programmers (and especially for their managers), but I think he's mostly right. I'd even go further: people who don't adapt to this change will be soon left behind, because today things are moving blazingly fast.

This doesn't mean AI-generated code is safe. The key point here (which AR explains well in his latest YT video on his way to the gym :D) is that you still need to master the CS fundamentals. Which means:

- People who master the fundamentals will use AI to move much faster.

- People who don't master the fundamentasl and vibe code will evetually hit a wall,

but most importantly

- People who master the fundamentals but review all the code will move much slower.

Innit?

Maybe. Depends on how solid the code is in the directions that matter for that code. Does security matter? Real-time performance? Never losing a transaction? Never leaking memory? What matters for the code you're trying to write? Future maintainability? How good is AI at producing code that does not fail in the directions that matter?

People who master the fundamentals but review all the code will move much slower. But they'll be more successful in the medium to long run if they're catching things that matter. (If they aren't, of course, they're just wasting time.)

The assumption I believe is: if you are experienced enough you will instruct your agent(s) to address all of these during your iterations.
