Lex Fridman Podcast · #491 – OpenClaw: The Viral AI Agent that Broke the Internet – Peter Steinberger · 12 Feb 2026 podcast

So maybe AI does replace programmers eventually, but there's so much more to that art.

Yeah, like just the actual art of programming, it will stay there, but it's going to be like knitting.

You know, like people do that because they like it, not because it makes any sense.

So I read this article this morning about

about someone that it's okay to mourn our craft and i can a part of me very strongly resonates with that because in my past i i spent a lot of time sinkering just being really deep in the flow and just like cranking out code and like finding really beautiful solutions and yes in a way it's it's sad because that will go away and

I also got a lot of joy out of just writing code and being really deep in my thoughts and forgetting time and space and just

being in this beautiful state of flow but you can get the same state of flow i get a similar state of flow by working with agents and building and thinking really hard about problems it is different but and it's okay to mourn it but it's not something we can fight like there is the world for a long time had a

There was a lack of intelligence, if you see it like that, of people building things.

And that's why salaries of software developers reached stupidly high amounts.

There will still be a lot of demand for people that understand how to build things.

Just that all this tokenized intelligence enables people to do a lot more, a lot faster.

And it will be even faster and even more because those things are continuously improving.

We had similar things when, I mean, it's probably not a perfect analogy, but when we created the steam engine and they built all these factories and replaced a lot of manual labor,

and then people revolted and broke the machines um i i can relate that if you very deeply identify that you are a programmer that it's scary and that it's threatening because what you like and what you're really good at is now being done by

a soulless or not entity, but I don't think you're just a programmer.

That's a very limiting view of your craft.

You are still a builder.

I think at some point it's just going to be called coding again and it's just going to be the new normal.

Yeah.

And yet while I don't write the code, I very much feel like
