And certainly the industry can survive that.

It does change things.

It's going to keep changing things.

But most code that most people write in most apps most of the time is really boring.

And that is now much easier to automate.

The more difficult code is for a little while, at least.

I mean, maybe forever, but probably not forever.

For a little while, more difficult code or more high-level problems will still be generally better done by humans.

But that's probably not going to last that long.

I mean, we've had these AI tools for basically zero time, and they're already really good.

Where are they going to be in five years?

That's

I think what we will see here is going to be very similar to those other advances.

When those other advances came around, when we had higher-level languages, every time you had programmers... I've been one of them.

You've had programmers who have said, I'm going to keep doing it the old way, either because I like it better or because I think I can do a better job or my code will perform better or whatever it is.

And over time...

all of those advantages for all of those steps, memory management, compiled optimizations or assembly optimizations, over time, all of those advantages have been erased by other benefits or by just the sheer performance of the higher level tools.

Yes, exactly.

And so that's why I think handwriting all of your code without having AI generate any of it for you is going to be like

having a woodworking hobby.
