Good article. I can't imagine learning to program in the current environment, the main thing driving me forward was frustrated anger at code not doing what I wanted, and of course I always took the shortest available path to resolving that.

    The percent of human coders will remain 100% despite the rise of cog suckers.

    That's a goal from AI companies and why they've been willing to bleed money. Eliminate having enough experienced coders and other fields experts, then launch prices sky high after those entities almost don't have a choice.

    Developers, design studios, hospitals, law firms, all sorts of office jobs, and I'm sure a lot of others will be reliant on ai. Some of them will probably be able to use open source AI stuff. Hospitals and law offices won't.

    If it just works, there's no problem.

    If it doesn't work, that's friction.

    Why is there no date on this blog?

    JetBrains, a major player in developer tools, recently completed a study

    2024 in AI terms may as well be last century

    Right... So if the AI is getting better.. the even less likely people are going to properly learn things so the Junior skill gap would be even harder to close... Surely?

    I think it'll become a higher level abstraction, you want to be able to identify patterns, get better at controlling agents, better at reading code, better at making tests, etc

    Think about any other job that has been automated, what comes out of it? There are still people who build cars but they aren't down on the shop floor welding
