alt Hacker NewsI read all the posts in this thread - but no one has a good idea to avoid software developer obsolescence. My guess is this profession has 5 more years. It was a good run while it lasted.
All the other white collar workers are in the same boat. A pillar of the economy is going to be destroyed with no obvious replacement in sight.

5 more years? That’s quite pessimistic, given how much evidence we have that LLM coding has as much of a long tail problem as any other tech we’ve created.

Which other profession has the same amount of training data freely available for the taking?

Ok so it’s five years now? I’ve heard for the last three years that software developers will be out of job within the next 6-18 months. I’m glad to hear I’ll have a job for a little bit longer.
