alt Hacker NewsIt's been absolutely astonishing to see software developers pick software development as the first profession to attempt to automate away. Couldn't you geniuses have picked any other profession to start with? And it's not just the developers at Anthropic & OpenAI, even at my own company, the rockstar developers were the first to try and automate away all of the software development jobs at our company.

I've been releasing open source software for ~25 years at this point. The goal of that was always to save other developers time, as part of a collaboration where other open source developers save me time with their own work.
That's worked out pretty great so far!
I don't think it's that supprising that software developers would try and make tools to make software development easier.
Software development is not the first profession that has been automated away by programmers...
