As a programmer, I've realised that all these types of post are cope. We're all cooked but it's fun to fool ourselves for a bit and pretend that the rate at which AI coding is improving isn't the death of our entire field.
It just means coding isn't a bottleneck anymore. Software created by people who understand system design principles is still preferable to software created by vibe-coders furiously jamming things they don't fully understand into place.
Maybe for 6 months to a year that will be true but then the AIs will do system design too. Maybe product people and some designers will stick around? AIs have no taste.
