You can do it, and if you love coding, if you love the craft of it, if you love the process of it, you can still do that.

But if you want to do this as a job, it's going to become increasingly difficult for you to be competitive and relevant in that world if you're not using these higher-level tools.

That's been true with all those other advances, and that's going to be true here, too.

The promise, though, here...

is that this is a bigger jump than any of those have been in certain ways.

Not in every way, but in certain ways, it's a bigger jump.

And so the real promise of AI is not that it's going to replace all of us, although I do have concerns about junior-level programmers coming up in the industry right now.

I think that could be challenging for them, but we'll see.

It'll shake out.

Yeah, and we'll see how that shakes out.

I mean, odds are they'll be just using these tools like everyone else.

But anyway, what the value here is, is not that we can replace all of the code that we can and should write with AI.

It's that we can replace a lot of it and we can have it do a lot of things for us that don't require perfect behavior all the time, that don't require super high skill levels or super high complexity levels yet.

We can have it do a ton of tasks that right now either burden us, things like writing tests.

Maybe this will actually get me to write tests.

Mark was going to bring out the test, yeah.

Some people like writing tests, you know.

Some people like writing code.

I love writing code.

Anyway, so there's a lot of stuff that right now is a burden to us that AI will be able to take off of our hands.
