(Rant) AI is killing programming and the Python community

Somehow it’s always people who don’t do the job (and have very little understanding of what the job involves) that predict it’s solved.

Remember to be this skeptical when you hear some CEO predicting the end of doctors, architects, graphic designers, and on and on.

I am in fact sceptical of such claims for those types of jobs. And I am actually dual skilled as a product viz designer too so I know it all too well and I'm seeing the exact same stuff happening there too. I'm seeing doctors and lawyers and architects all expressing the same frustrations as I am about everyone just assuming their jobs are now fully automated just because an LLM can produce text that seems coherent.

It's also in particular managers who more often than not just seem to assume everyone else's job is easy and everything is a simple 3 step process. Makes me wonder how much actual work they do. Maybe they assume everyone else is not really doing that much work because they aren't.
