Why AI won't replace you

The people who think AI will replace engineers have never worked with stakeholders directly. Some of them may be the stakeholders who don’t understand how much work goes into making their ideas feasible.

No-code always starts with “Wow I feel so empowered” and ends with “Swiiiiz this is fiddly and annoying can you own it for me?”

Here's why: Complexity.

yeah we need to invent a brand new field that focuses on organizing lots of code in ways that have hierarchy and patterns that can be managed by intelligence that is limited

eventually you might see people specializing in this field and companies hiring for it https://t.co/hOnX9cbN8J
