I don’t know.
I am a software engineer.
Coding to me is an intellectual capital thing.
An AI tool can only give you options. You have to decide how to put those options together.
This. There is SOOOOOO much more to making good software than just programming. That's barely the start of it. It's more information architecture, roadmapping & planning, user interface, and savvy marketing, not to mention having a monopoly like Microsoft has, LOL
Yes but lets be honest. All the database guys are foooked!
J/k! (I hope)
Anyone, except for a very few software architects and a small number of low level QA guys are, to borrow your word, fooked. Much like industrial robotics eventually drove out factory jobs which, in the beginning, looked too complicated for automation. AI is going to continuously improve at putting options together into a complete program, until it eventually can predict the optimal structure for software and solve a problem better than any human.
One or two software architects are all future tech companies will need to direct the AI about the problems it needs to solve, replacing whole teams of programmers today. The same is true of doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. As well as all the managers that organize them. All those positions are going. It happened before in other professions. It is now time for white collar and managerial classes.
