Hey, let's fire all the devs and replace them with AI (opens in new tab)

AI will replace devs who write code that doesn't matter. For any technology where the inputs must be understood (i.e. any regulated industry), good devs will be in more demand than ever.

I think this is a good thing. So much human potential and talent is wasted writing the next Facemash algorithm, when we as a society have some pressing problems to solve in:

- climate change

- medicine

- healthcare reform

- defense and aerospace

- water scarcity

- renewable energy

and a whole host of other things. If even 10% of the smart devs working on dumb problems were to switch to these fields, we would see noticable progress.

Let AI write the next billion-dollar photo-sharing app. Go work on something meaningful instead.

    There is nothing but more data and bigger models standing
    in the way of CoPilot getting an order of magnitude better.

So all we need is 100x more code than Github, that should be easy. /s
