Fast Software: More Programmers, Not Fewer (www.yegor256.com)

Just like fast fashion replaced tailors with factory workers and machine operators, fast software will replace programmers with AI operators. And the market will demand many of them. Many more than large software companies employ today.

The new world will need more programmers (AI operators) than it needs now. Because the demand for custom software will soon start growing. Everyone will want their own Photoshop. Every developer will want their own IDE and their own Linux. And they will throw them away without hesitation. Just like I throw away my shoes every year and get new ones.

I share this here to see what are your thoughts on this.

You argument about ai not being a tool for coding faster is funny. Like arguing because I dont know how to type a computer is worse than writing code by hand.

Yeah I don't have the mental energy to decrypt your messages, you're just saying a bunch on nonsense and I'm not really wanting to spend so long trying to see what a slopbro is trying to say.

Have a nice day
