So this movie is going to become a reality a lot sooner? 1-2 generations max, yikes.

Isn't this basically "CEO of AI hardware company says that more people should use AI"? Not really news, since you wouldn't really expect him to say otherwise.

Dammit, he actually has an engineering degree, I can't make snide remarks about business majors

Or can I?

Disagree. They need to learn to code. And be experts with AI tools.

Just like kids with a calculator.

I use LLMs daily to code but the more complex the issue is I try to solve the more work I have to do to get it to actually produce what I need. I feel like at some point we will get to where UML failed…it will just be easier to write the code.

But I don’t like writing long Linq queries or Angular templates or whatever, it does that quite well (70% of the time it is 70% correct or so). So it takes over the part of coding I dislike.

So no just being able to write code might be unnecessary but that’s like 10% of my day.

Writing single functions just isn't the hard part of programming in the vast majority of programs, the hard part is managing a project in a maintainable, robust, and extensible way.
