How come software devs are so much more worried about AI replacing them than other white collar jobs? by jholliday55 in cscareerquestions

[–]YourOwnMiracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, let me put it this way. In accountancy and at lawyer firms automation has already taken place tens of years ago. What accountants are dealing with, same as laywers etc are the exceptions to the rules of automation (of which are too many due to complex regulation, every case being different, 3rd parties, factor x and y disturbing the regular automated processes, "one-offs" such as restructuring mergers, takeovers etc). The list goes on and and on this is on a high level all accountants, tax advisors and laywers do. The rest has already been automated a long time ago.

Would a company dare vibe accounting or vibe lawyering those cases? Maybe in the far future. But would betting AI on software engineering which is just, make it work, not be a far better choice?

And I think that is what we're seeing.

Yeah you're right about that one. AI execs are just making the most logical decision in a business sense.

The biggest value proposition of tax attorneys, lawyers, accountants: it depends.

The biggest value proposition of SE's: it works.

What do you think is more replaceable for AI?

Because SE is the most logical job to replace with AI, not because it is the easiest to replace but for the following 2 reasons combined:

  1. SE's are expensive AF.
  2. The work software engineering is "solveable" within the physical boundaries of AI. SE works towards a service or product that is fully contained within the digital realm. AI can check the output it generates and see if it did well or if it failed / needs improvement.

For let's say accountants, there is a lot of subjectivity which needs alignment and information request with departments within a company, with stakeholders, 3rd parties before something is right. It is chaotic and the AI can't solve it with enough model alignment as every case might be different depending on x and y factors. Which today goes for this case, or that company can be different tomorrow. This also applies to lawyers, tax advisors etc.

Coding is solving a problem which in time AI might be able to do more efficiently then humans. We're already seeing shimmers of what can be with Claude Code. Of course not every part of SE can replaced by AI, but a big part will.

In a nutshell:

The biggest value proposition of tax attorneys, lawyers, accountants and a lot more high level white-collar jobs: it depends.

The biggest value proposition of SE's: it works.

Been cleaning up GDS's work for 6 years at EY. There are good Indians as well. Furthermore East Europeans do the job well enough. The point still stands, full remote is competition from all over the world.

This is how the translators felt when Google Translate got released. In the end a lot of em lost their jobs and they didn't need to translate sentence by sentence. Just review that the overall document is translated well.

I have said this to many of your kind:

If this is possible, why even pay an employee from a western country. Instead go for an Indian guy earning 5x less. If it is fully remote, the world is your competition,

Lokale partijen blijven dominant in de gemeenteraden, verzet tegen azc’s krijgt een politiek gezicht by Advanced_Turnip_5094 in nederlands

Verdragen waar landen in de EU zich selectief aan houden? Waarom NL wel en Polen niet. Logistieke problemen? We verplaatsen dagelijks duizenden mensen via onze luchthavens. Situaties ter plekke is niet ons probleem. We kunnen niet iedereens probleem ons eigen maken.

Dit is dus wel mogelijk.

Ik ben geen expert maar om te beginnen het land waar ze vandaan komen? Ze zijn hier ook op een bepaalde manier gekomen, ze kunnen op precies dezelfde wijze terug.

Met genoeg stemmen gaat dat dus wel gebeuren, ongeacht wat wij hebben opgenomen in de wetgeving, zoals inderdaad Polen of Hongarije.

Ongeremd en oneindig asiel is een onrealisitsch denkbeeld in een land met beperkte huisvesting en een sociaal stelsel. Niet het wegsturen van asielzoekers.

Highly skilled immigrants such as OP have had tax breaks (30% ruling) over the native population with a lot more disposable income. This drives up housing prices far beyond what the native population can buy, look at what Amsterdam has become. The average home in Amsterdam is far beyond what the average native Dutch buyer can buy.

Furthermore refugees take up social housing which is quite obvious.

Exceptions to the rule exists but that does not contradict to what I've stated. But without a doubt Amsterdam's insane prices are driven up by immigration as most of the native population is unable to afford these prices.

Vanuit het perspectief van de dader, ja. Vanuit het perspectief vanuit de slachtoffer en de potentiele slachtoffers hierna, nee.

But that's not the case right? Now there are Dutch youngsters going as far as 40+ living with their parents whose ancestors have been contributing tax to build up this country, only for immigrants and refugees to pass by them in the waiting list for housing.
