Maybe I've just given up, or maybe I'm a realist? But I fully believe AI will just...catch up with everything?
There's so much money in it right now. There's such a momentum. There are zero incentives to slow down for those that are in charge.
I've accepted that in 5-10 years, the vast majority of human devs. and engineers will not touch a single line of code. It'll be small increments, with a couple of big ones here and there.
And there will not be any triumph for those that hold steadfast to the principle of human coding. They'll be tiny boutique shops that do custom stuff, in the same way cobblers are to the mega shoe factories.
We've been able to make watches with machines for 50 years. Handmade Watchmakers, and their producuts are more valuable and in demand than any guy running a conveyer belt. They still make 20x more if not 50x. People look up to them.
You can make a choice not to become a button pusher and still do things by hand. You dont have to fry your brain. You're falling for a massive trap to strip you of your value.
Handmade watches are a tiny, niche market; they survive only because they've positioned themselves as a status symbol. Quartz watches are both cheaper and more accurate.
There is not room in the world for more handmade watchmakers, and there's not going to be room for much "artisan software" either.
