Everything looks a nail for our hammer-shaped chat bot.

I think you’re overly hyped if your actually believe this is going to be a reality in 5-10 years.

Up until about four months ago, the sentiment by so many programmers online (here, reddit, etc) was that LLMs were absolutely useless at coding. And yet, many of us were puzzled, because we were having success with them, at coding.

People were burying their heads.

Today, there are not many of those people left. Some, but not a lot. Because you can only deny reality for so long.

I don't know what the coding world is going to look like in 5-10 years, but everything has changed radically in the space of a year from maybe 10% of people using agents to code to probably 95% of people now. In about a YEAR.

I don't know, but my assumption is these things will get better to a point where they will be automating close to 100% of coding, and deploying, and verifying, etc. The old job we had will be completely changed well before 10 years. I still think us "engineers" will have a role to play, but I genuinely don't know what it will look like.
