SWE jobs are indeed under a medium-long term threat. Gemini Pro 1.5 destroyed GPT 4 Turbo on large codebases.
I held a belief until recently that SWE jobs are not under threat in short to medium term and that my career will likely outlast potential major advancements in AI that could make my skillset obsolete but jeez the future is here. Gemini Pro 1.5 seems to be scary good on large codebases already. We haven't even entered the Gemini Ultra 1.5 territory yet. Here are the accounts of people who tried out Gemini Pro 1.5 :- https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1atjz9v/ive_put_a_complex_codebase_into_a_single/ https://twitter.com/VictorTaelin/status/1759051795530138058?t=CKcCHf0oRNwdHS_OqklnvA&s=19 Time to rethink my career path and skillset. AI/ML and Tech leaders: Any suggestions are most welcome. #google #gemini #openai #gpt
Are you telling me I can make my own sass a lot quicker?
More like lots of people are going to be able to deploy ideas similar to yours....unless yours is truly out there.
Lot of BS Don’t trust anything unless it has been formally verified by the scientific community. Science values rigor not some BS Reddit post
Even the guy who posted that Reddit post doesn’t think we’re anywhere near AGI or software engineers being replaced. Look at his comments and post history.
The reality is in the future programming is just like using office, nothing fancy at all. SV is doomed to be next Detroit
So where do we SWEs go? What do we do?
