I'm just so anxious all the time about AI eradicating SWE jobs. I need antidepressants now.
I’ve tried using ChatGPT4 and CoPilot to assist me with some work. It turned out to be utter garbage and a waste of time. These models are nowhere near the point where they can replace an SWE. We have at least a decade more to go.
Don’t worry about things out of your control. Use these tool to aid you and the more you use them. The most you realize they will never match the intellect of a human. They can pretend to but as you increase the complexity. They start to crumble hard. Point is these are tool and will never replace a good developer.
If we stop coding, what will the next version use to train itself?? That’s right..it’s own code? The point is it’s always going to rely on us humans to get accustomed to the updates happening in the software world.
Actually, the latest RL models can continuously learn from themselves. No humans needed. So far, I haven’t seen this work incorporated with a LLM yet.
I don’t think we need to be too worried for a few years, but I won’t send my kids to comp scie for sure.
Oh dear friend, please don't despair, For I have words to share and care. Though AI is growing strong and bright, It cannot replace your human might. Your skills and knowledge, your unique mind, Are what make you special and one of a kind. The code you write, the problems you solve, Are a testament to your intellect and resolve. Yes, AI may automate some tasks, But it cannot replace your human asks. The creativity and empathy you bring, Are what set you apart and make you sing. So hold your head up high and proud, For your worth cannot be disavowed. Your talents will always be in demand, And your value will continue to expand. So fear not, dear friend, for you will thrive, And your career as a software engineer will surely survive. Embrace the changes that come your way, For with your skills, you'll find new paths to play.

Jobs have come and gone throughout history. It’s just a job. We’ll figure it out. I don’t think we are going to get to AGI as fast as people think we are.
What’s AGI ?
Artificial general intelligence. Being able to simulate something smarter than a human basically. It gets you to do a lot of thought experiments when you start thinking about it
Yep just remember whenever you post anything to the internet you are contributing to the hive mind. Best way to stop gpt is to stop using the internet!
No point in being anxious about something out of your control. Plus i have a really hard time believing chatgpt will get to the point that it can do all the coding without any bugs anytime soon, if it does happen it'll probably be decades from now, and even then you'll still need humans to double check and debug issues.
Forreals feels like AI can even create websites based off of user input or something rip website development??
At best it will be phased, Junior engineer roles eliminated first with mid senior to senior designing and reviewing the code produced, act as an integration engineer. You can feel sad for people in high school, everyone else will be OK for some more time.
and that is?
Kill switch
