Average code monkeys will be replaced by AI

I don't know much about coding but I don't have to. I believe there's lots of mundane work that will be replaced by AI that will allow people to focus on higher level thinking.

We already have an “AI” that replaced the average code monkey. It’s called the compiler.

I'm excited to see what AGI will bring us. It'll be as big of a shift as the gig economy we see today.

It’s just a fancy auto complete, maybe better in some scenarios and probably worse than a static list most of the time. We are no where near AI generated, functional, working code. Anyone who thinks AI will write code for us never wrote any serious piece of software — Naval Rivakant said something like that.

The OP definitely is a person who has no understanding of code and its intricacies, also has no understanding of product as he/she/other quickly jumped to conclusions without diving deep in what the product does and jumped on AI can do everything bandwagon. Congrats you qualify for PM role. - Sincerely someone higher TC than OP.

Jesus kids these days can’t read. Let me help you: I didn’t jump to any conclusion, the post is simply a question. The answer to my question could be now or never. While you clearly jumped to some conclusions. Good job having good TC. I never said my tc is good or bad, but I’m happy for you! 🍺 I don’t know you and I don’t think there’s need to argue. Period.

Not in the next 10 years, but probably at some point.
