For some background, I originally wanted to break into programming back when I was in college but drifted more into desktop tech support and now systems administration. SysAdmin work is draining me, though, and I want to pick back up programming and see if I can make a career out of it, but industry seems like it could be moving in a direction to rely on AI for coding. Everything I’ve heard has said AI is not there yet, but if it’s looking like it hits a point where it reaches an ability to fully automate coding, should I even bother? Am I going to be obsolete after a year? Five years?
lol. Of course there is. Ai cannot code. it’s a glorified autocomplete that mostly gets things subtly wrong. So you’ll spend more time trying to understand the code you didn’t write and look for any bugs, than if you had written and understood it yourself.
