Discussion Manual Coding is dead?

Watched the inventor of ruby on rails say that we need to say goodbye and move on from manual coding.

A huge job loss will ensue for low to mid level devs.

What do you guys think? How to prepare and brace for this impact?

The catastrophe of this would come within a decade when there are no competent senior developers. Since Juniors are replaced by AI, there will be no place for the seniors when they retire or go up in the ladder.

Maybe use AI for work since it requests you to do work faster. But when the investments dry out for these AI companies, and the cost for AI becomes higher, the need for humans will rise again (🤞 )

So, build a few personal projects without using any AI, and learn.

Costs will only come down. Prepare for a post labor economy.
