The people who hold funeral addresses over "coders" or developers tend to miss the point. If devs are disposable now, then the only question is: who is next?

I know of quite a lot of business people who kind of frolicking over the idea that the former behemoth got humbled so massively. From eating the world to unemployed in no time.

This delusion itself is telling and perpetuates the clinging to the sinking ship that is still the Elephant in the Room.

If something as complex or even complicated as app development including SDLCs etc. could simply be prompted now, then AI will eat anything less complicated alive.

So people better start considering the implications and ramifications of their statements. Otherwise we are all doomed and part of a darwinian system that will weed out the unnecessary parts of the system or we acknowledge the fact that a traditional profession such as app development is fundamentally changing.

This is something that happened before and constantly does. Otherwise we would not use DSL or Java.

But the fundamentals still work and therefore you need abstractions.



instead of asking „what’s next”, a good question to ask is „what jobs are now feasible that previously were cinstrained by the cost of producing software”?
