What software developer jobs? We're in year 3 after ChatGPT was introduced, and an AI wrote almost all my code in the past two weeks. I describe a feature and how it can be implemented, and within seconds, the feature is already working in my dev environment, often with a level of quality beyond what I would have produced myself. Extrapolating this to year 10 or 15 doesn't leave much hope for the future of human developers. | ||

Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, there will be three or four development tiers left: 1. model development and optimization, 2. data pool management, 3. downstream consumers of item 1, and 4. everything else | ||

1. Cleaning up the junk left after the AI bubble burst. 2. Debugging code you didn’t write and didn’t really spec. 3. “Would you like fries with that?” | ||
