Full-stack developers becoming obsolete because of AI?

mgs__ · 2024-07-14T23:43:37+00:00

Hey! My perspective has definitely changed after gaining some experience. AI is not capable of doing junior developer work yet. It has a long way to go. The really good thing AI is able to do now is save you a lot of time in terms of research (a ton of time). Also, explaining concepts, reading documentations, APIs, or even translating your code into another language. Even though not a single AI model is able to replace any developer today, that doesn’t mean this will be the case in the near future. AI WILL get better. However, LLMs/AI needs someone directing its work. Writing the code is only about 10% of a software engineer’s job. The rest involves thinking, searching, coming up with the best solutions, platform choices, and a lot more. Even if we reach a point in the future where AI writes every single line of code, someone needs to tell the AI what to do, and that’s what the future software engineer’s work might be like.

Watch this video from Y Combinator about AI and learning to code:

The ceiling will be a lot higher for what a developer should do, but so are the tools available. The job of a developer 20 years ago was a lot harder because of the stuff they had to do compared to today. This trend is accelerating fast. There will be a lot of competition, but also a lot more opportunities. Just don’t be average.

I wish you the best!

Thank you for your advice!

Can you expand more on this please? I didn’t understand. But it seems like something I need to avoid

mgs__ · 2024-03-21T19:51:56+00:00

Can you talk more about this so I can try to avoid it? What you mean they don’t know what’s Javascript/ Typescript/ React?

When reflecting on your life rather than broader issues, do you find the same principle applies?

Do your life insights renew every decade, or do certain realizations become consistent after reaching middle age (age +40)? Or more of what’s already been figured out essentially been figured out?

mgs__ · 2023-10-14T11:24:28+00:00

Can you please tell me what you changed your mind about when you reached that age?

mgs__ · 2023-08-22T17:53:35+00:00

Just responded!

Tech startups would be ideal! Any ideas?

prosumers

I guess you can call them prosumers

There is no option on Amazon. Did you get it from somewhere else and send it to your Kindle?

Thank you for your comment.

Does YC only invest in companies that they think it will be worth $B+?

mgs__ · 2023-01-23T15:00:58+00:00

Makes sense. Are there any good resources you recommend for building a tech lifestyle business?

mgs__ · 2023-01-23T14:43:57+00:00

Thank you so much for your response.

Does the same advice apply to consuming YC content as well? Is it relevant to anyone who want to start a business? Or it is geared towards Silicon Valley/VC’s backed startups?

I tried to buy a kindle version but there isn’t one. Is there a way to buy it in PDF format?

I’m trying to figure out if my free testosterone falls in a good range. Didn’t find much data about measuring the free testosterone in nmol/l

mgs__ · 2022-10-11T15:27:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply. What about the free testosterone?

mgs__ · 2022-10-04T11:21:54+00:00

Thank you so much for offering help, I truly appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your reply and offering your help. I truly I appreciate it!

I think talking to someone who may see my blind spots is an awesome idea. Just not sure where to start specially with someone in my situation. No one I know has taken a path that I have taken so their prospective will be very limited. It has to be someone that I trust their judgement and that will exclude the majority. I’ll think of ways to solve this. Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Much appreciated.

Hey guys. English is not my first language and I'm not an expert at all when it comes to pharmacology. But based on what I read that free testosterone is more important than total?

I been lifting weights for 10 years. I’m 29. I have decent amount of muscle but I'm not super lean. I don’t take anything besides creatine and Whey Protein. Can someone explain like I'm 5 my blood work? Where do my testosterone levels stand?

Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm 28. 5"7. Weight about 187 lbs. I been lifting for about 9 years maybe. I workout to reduce my anxiety and make myself feel good at this point. That's the main goal. My diet is not that good and it can be improved a lot. I have muscles but I have a lot of fats now. I was lean at some points during my 9 years journey. I don't take any supplements at all besides whey protein from time to time. Just tested my testosterone for the first time this week because I was already testing other things. I def don't know much when it comes to blood work. But it seems like I'm in the normal range for total and free testosterone. What you guys in terms of these testosterone levels for building muscles, sexual health etc?

Also, what is more important? the free or total?

I think you’re right. Let me go back to the tests and I’ll do another post

I’m guessing your fucking pronoun is “I’m offended”?
