It feels a bit like driving on the highway with โ€œcruise controlโ€: the car mostly goes where you point it, but you still need a hand on the steering wheel, keeping it steady. Otherwise, the car will slowly start to drift out of its lane. If you donโ€™t occasionally nudge it back on track, youโ€™ll wind up in a ditch.

And thatโ€™s kind of a problem for the โ€œno more developersโ€ theory. If I didnโ€™t know how to code, I wouldnโ€™t notice the subtle-yet-critical issues with the modelโ€™s output. I wouldnโ€™t know how to course-correct, or even realize that course-correction was required!

Iโ€™ve heard from no-coders who have built projects using LLMs, and their experience is similar. They start off strong, but eventually reach a point where they just can't progress anymore, no matter how much they coax the AI. The code is a bewildering mess of non sequiturs, and beyond a certain point, no amount of duct tape can keep it together. It collapses under its own weight.

AI myths. Some companies are still operating under the belief that AI really will make developers obsolete soon, and so theyโ€™re not hiring as aggressively as they otherwise would.

If AI truly was making software developers redundant, I would expect the total number of tech jobs to be falling at an accelerating rate, but the count has been increasing over the past year. If this trend continues, the market should feel a lot less brutal soon!

Concerns

In 2023, I was reasonably confident that AI wasnโ€™t on the cusp of taking our software jobs. Two years in, and Iโ€™ve only become more confident in that belief. Knowing how to code is still an incredibly valuable skill and I donโ€™t see that changing anytime soon.
That said, Iโ€™m also not trying to say that everything is great and weโ€™ll all be just fine.

if you use LLMs proactively, thereโ€™s never been a better time to learn how to code. When I get a TypeScript error I donโ€™t understand, AI can often help me understand it, or at least surface the relevant keywords I need in order to find the right docs. Itโ€™s like we all have access to our own personal tutor who can help us make sense of things we donโ€™t understand.

Nobody knows how the next few years will play out, but it wouldnโ€™t surprise me at all if we see a bit of a โ€œdeveloper renaissanceโ€ in a year or two, when companies have finally accepted that human developers are still required, when they realize that a skilled human armed with a powerful LLM can do incredible things. โœจ
