This will be used as an excuse to try to drive down wages while demanding more responsibilities from developers, even though this is absolute bullshit. However, if they actually follow through with their delusions and push to build platforms on AI-generated trash code, then soon after they'll have to hire people to fix such messes.

How many times does the public have to learn if the CEO says it, he probably doesn't know what he's talking about. If the devs say it, listen
I know just enough about this to confirm that this statement is absolute horseshit
Sounds like the no-ops of a decade ago and cloud will remove the need for infrastructure engineers. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣

It isn't that AI will have replaced us in 24 months, it's that we will be enslaved in 24 months. Or in the matrix. Etc.

It's the same claim when tools like Integromat, WayScript, PureData, vvvv and other VPLs (Visual Programming Languages) started to get some hype. I once worked for a company that strongly believed they'd "retire the need for coding", and my ex-boss was so confident and happy about that... Although VPLs were a practical thing, time is the ruler of truth, and for every dev-related job vacancy I see, they ask some programming language, the written ones (JS, PHP, Python, Ruby, Lua, and so on).
Because if you look closely, deep inside, voila, there's code in anything that is claimed to be no-code! Wow, could anyone imagine that? 🤯 /sarcasm
I made this meme a while back and I think it's relevant
It’ll replace brain dead CEOs before it replaces programmers.
I'm pretty sure I could write a bot right now that just regurgitates pop science bullshit and how it relates to Line Go Up business philosophy.
Edit: did it, thanks ChatJippity
def main():
# Check if the correct number of arguments are provided
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
print("Usage: python script.py <PopScienceBS>")
sys.exit(1)
# Get the input from the command line
PopScienceBS = sys.argv[1]
# Assign the input variable to the output variable
LineGoUp = PopScienceBS
# Print the output
print(f"Line Go Up if we do: {LineGoUp}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
if lineGoUp {
CollectUnearnedBonus()
} else {
FireSomePeople()
CollectUnearnedBonus()
}I think we need to start a company and commence enshittification, pronto.
This company - employee owned, right?
I'm just going to need you to sign this Contributor License Agreement assigning me all your contributions and we'll see about shares, maybe.
Yay! I finally made it, I'm calling my mom.

Says the person who is primarily paid with Amazon stock, wants to see that stock price rise for their own benefit, and won’t be in that job two years from now to be held accountable. Also, who has never written a kind of code. Yeah…. Ok. 🤮
As software developer I am not scared that A.I will take away our jobs. What I am scared is that at that point A.I good enough to do most jobs out there.
All it really needs to do is replace large chunk of the service industry to wreck massive havock in our society.
Connecting human existence to their labour has a designed defect
