The impact of AI on jobs
-
I for one doubt that good programmers will be out of jobs anytime soon.
For once, only programmers can write specifications that are precise enough that AIs can generate code from it.
Of course programmers need to learn how to use LLMs to boost their productivity. But we'll also have a much higher demand for software. It's a kind of self-correcting system.
What we won't need much anymore are programmers that perform boring repetitive work.

Vibe coding will advance more and more in line with the promise of its name. What % of professional programmers work from spec currently anyway? I bet most.
I see it as imminent that product owners will get together in a meeting room and create an app by talking an AI through it in real time.
