Yesterday another CEO (this time it was Mark Zuckerberg) said that AI would become capable of doing work of software engineers. In his opinion, starting this year we’ll get “AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code”. Personally, I don’t believe it to be true as I worked with several LLM models and as far as I can tell they are far away from being ready to be called ‘mid-level engineer’. But this is me speaking against Zukerberg. So it got me thinking.
Most of the time when someone telling that “AI will be able to replace developers” its either some AI driven company CEO or marketing person, or it is some people very distant from software development, who tried it, managed to create a custom to-do list and now thinking that we are all cooked. But I doubt we can trust these opinions completely.
So what do real engineers think? Are there any relevant and solid comments regarding the AI situation and progress from guys with experience in the field: actual senior or mid-level developers, those who do the coding and not the talking? Can you point me in the right direction where to look?
Two reasons I am writing this. First, I need some experts opinion to show those who are learning or in the beginning of their career that everything is not that bad as it may seem. Second, I don’t want to live inside a bubble. So I am trying to listen to different opinions and right now I see that the engineers opinions are missing from the picture.
