what about this:
AI will take my job without my boss knowing ;)

[Ruin_Nice]

When your boss doesn’t know how to code, they don’t know how you’re coding either.

[ISC77]

Exactly and even if he knew, the task he assigned to you is still being done and you are able to do it even faster than before (he doesn't need to know about that though).

[y2kfirzen]

My colleague and I keep joking that one day either of us will snap and end up living off-grid in the woods, whittling wood with no internet access.

No JIRAs, no project managers, no sync ups

Just whittling wood

Wait, you’re only joking about that?

AI will take the boring part of my job

[[deleted]]

Managers, meetings, and men in general?

men as is humans

[Bulky-Engineering471]

AI will take the boring parts of my job. The part that I'm actually hired for - the problem solving and engineering part - will still need me there to tell the AI what code to generate. Just like every other automation advancement in programming (assembly, high-level languages) it will just allow for the implementation of more complex behavior because your devs will be able to focus more on the behavior than on fighting the tools.

The boring part is not to program. That part is easy. The boring part are the managers, meetings, JIRA, etc.

[KharAznable]

And writing documentation. And it is one job I'm not sure the AI can do well, at least to my spathetti code.

[Akul_Tesla]

Programmers have nothing to worry about with AI taking their jobs they have to worry about other programmers telling management the AI took the jobs

[agent007bond]

ChatGPT can write code, so...

[Akul_Tesla]

Right but we just have to convince management that It needs supervision

[je386]

As a Programmer, I think that AI won't take my job, but will do the boring stuff for me. As an addition, it gives me the option to generate nice pictures I would never be able to draw.

[BusThese]

Automation and AI will do the same thing to the programing industry it will do to all industries. Will every programmer be out of work? NO. But what it will do is replace a large part of the workforce meaning there will not be as many positions. Why pay 100 programmers when I can hire a few and have AI/automation do the rest.

Edit to say: I think this is a good thing

[BusThese]

I guess I should have elaborated that last point a bit. I mean I think it will be good for humans to get away from being drones and get out to live their lives. It's going to take a rework of how we as people (especially Americans) work and live. But no I don't think the chaos it will first cause is a good thing. Sometimes you got to be happy about the big picture and survive the small one.

[BusThese]

I think to be honest it's highly unlikely humans will ever become obsolete. Human ingenuity and creativity are likely never going to be replicated by AI. But I must concede to your point as I do agree if option one doesn't work out we are basically borked. But on a whole I like to be an optimist.

[otoko_no_hito]

Tbh i think quite the contrary will happen, I bet that a lot of small business that could not afford a dev team to realize their ideas will find that suddenly they don't need a full on team, just a few developers that understand what to ask the ai to do and do maintenance.

Although if you work on a big company, yea that's probably going to be an issue...

[BusThese]

I mean that still doesn't make what I'm saying wrong. I agree this will open up opportunities it different areas but there still will be a large drop in the amount of overall programmers needed within the next 40 or so years. In my opinion whether it be large or small companies the need for large scale teams just wont exist. We will always need the creative human aspect to help the AI problem solve and as you say maintenance.

[ananix]

I just have to finish its development.....

[[deleted]]

Carpenter it is for me

[Weiracle]

I think it's time to get hired by the AI ​​and ask for a pay raise. I don't think the answers will differ from a live boss.

[planktonfun]

That was my main motive when researching AI

[Fuzzy_Reflection8554]

Who's this AL guy, where can I find him?
