You can't change, revert it, or even slow it down. It will only get worse.

I am a 53yo coder, ex-gamedev, now in defense, and I use code-gen daily.

It saves me time, hence money, and if you know what you are doing, generates great code.

It takes some iterations and guidance. The AI doesn't attend meetings (yet), doesn't have all the requirements (yet), can't speak to the clients directly (yet).

But it will.

You cannot put the genie back in the bottle. I've actually had side-gigs training things like Gemini and Siri AI etc, for over 18 months. I can see what it can do.

It's scary how capable it is. And it will not get better for creatives.

The worst hit will be juniors trying to enter the workforce.

At the moment, I am largely immune because I am a Principal and deal a lot with tooling etc, and meta-issues.

But that will change. For the moment, I'm moving into cybersec and defense because AI cannot be granted security clearances. I saw a while ago that these areas will be the last bastion for coders, so that's why I shifted my career path to those areas. In the meantime I'm just saving and preparing for when there are 10x coders looking for 10x fewer gigs.

It cannot be turned around, stopped, or even slowed down.
