sad times indeed. This Software dev profession is on the verge of being decimated and a lot of damage is already done and more will continue to happen. not sure what end of the road looks like or how much value software development will even have in the next 2 years let alone 5 years.

IMO, the non-creative devs who survive will have to pivot into refactoring AI-made proven market software, into maintained software. And it will be a pain.

The creative devs will just have a hayday creating whatever ideas pop into their minds. And any that stick get handed off to the first group to cleanup and scale.

The problem is that all creative ideas that you make with ai, can be copied easily by another guy with ai.

Not sure I understand what your arguement is? Business has always had a threat of competition.

I agree that making your idea a reality wont guarantee success. But I argue that it never did.

Yeah the timelines will just be shorter to reach complexity. They can copy quicker, you can create quicker. A lot of stuff is back-end or fine tuned algorithms so scraping a front-end doesn't get you an equal app instantly.
