LLMs will certainly replace most developers. Most developers dont know that "computer" was a profession not long ago (and a quite demanding one). You are conflating "not understanding how to build software" with "not knowing how to write code". Most developers I've crossed paths with couldn't build a consistent library, let alone a complete, well written, architecturally sound and useful application. Sure, I also know plenty that don't fall into that category but those are the few. Problems with deploy? Ask claude, use ssh with key-based auth and he will take care of it :) just saying. I've been writing code "almost daily" for the last 35 years; been doing it professionally for at least 29 years. I've been around, and my peers consider me a proficient developer. I've built stuff ranging from embedded/os level development to DSL languages, from 3D programming to VBA macros. I wrote software used by me, and wrote software used by millions. In some cases, I've maintained products written by me nore than a decade. By your definition, I must be wrong, truth is I can afford to be wrong - my job is not writing code, is designing solutions. Writing code is often the easiest part, and we're mostly automating it. Thank god. | ||
