I'm also a programmer. Without AI the forecast was that most programming in 2025 was going to be low code or no code. If you add AI to the mix, the market will suffer a sudden shock probably before 2025. New things like DevOps will also be replaced by NoOps/AIOps. I think we should try to do as much money as possible right now before it's too late. Programming will be very specific and salaries won't be high, i.e right now quantum programming pays much less than web dev, because it's not demanded that much.

Most people currently starting a software related career at universities will never get a coding related job and they should join the market right now as juniors if they want to ever experience what working as a dev was.

Teaching children python is a complete nonsense and a waste of time.

I think Business Analysts will just write the requirements and the AI will generate the software.

The people I know don't even consider that Javascript could be replaced by Typescript or WebAssembly. AI replacing programmers is completely out of their imagination.

Btw I think the next victims after programmers will be other engineers like electronic or electric engineers.

Programming is not the future, it's the present.

I am an engineer, i am currently wondering when i will be replaced. Though training data for engineering is going to be an issue, the companies sure as hell are not going to just hand over all of their data so what would you even train the AI on? With coding that is not a problem because of sites like github.

The companies with all the data are the strongest AI players.

Is it enough data though?

Well, if you are pointing to the "the more data to train, the better" then I've heard the answer is transcription of all video/podcast content (think youtube) and synth data.
