I would like to see a robot procrastinate getting work done for hours on end as well as i do!
Ever heard of "while True" loops? They beat even me!
But can the robot bullshit the pm during standup as well as I can?
A manager position is easier to replace than a programmer position. By the time AI is smart enough to replace you, it is also smart enough for you to replace the entire company with and run solo.
A robot won't replace individual programmers. AI and improved processes will mean quicker code review and less programmers needed. There will be a net loss of programmer jobs but an individual programmer won't be replaced. Rather the remaining programmers create more (as a percent, not absolute) code with better tools.
If less programmers are needed that means some programmers are being replaced
Yes. But its by attrition. There won't be a programmer replaced by AI directly. Their colleagues will take over their work and have higher workloads but be more efficient. That's ways been the way.
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
