Lmao, I’m not a programmer although i know how, and even if I was I wouldn’t be worried for good reason. AI requires explicit instructions for everything. So in order to use it to code you need to be a programmer.
I’m also not worried. Software complexity generally grows proportional to the complexity of the requirements. And most projects I’ve been a part of, no one could have told you all the requirements even after we’ve figured them out.
The code + test code is usually the only document that describes the requirements. And with high-level languages, there’s not that much boilerplate around the codified requirements either. Besides, we can use LLMs for that boilerplate ourselves.
The best comment I read on this topic was “Before AI replaces us, our customers must first learn to precisely formulate what they actually want. We’re safe.”
