alt Hacker NewsSame as when higher-level languages replaced assembly for a lot of use cases. And btw, at least in places I've worked, better traditional tooling would replace a lot more headcount than AI would.

I already see this happening with low code, SaaS and MACH architectures.
What used to be a project doing a CMS backend, now is spent doing configurations on a SaaS product, and if we are lucky, a few containers/serveless for integrations.
There are already AI based products that can automate those integrations if given enough data samples.
Many believe AI will keep using current programming languages as translation step, just like those Assembly developers thought compiling via Assembly text generation and feeding into an Assembly would still be around.
Not even close, those were all deterministic, this is probabilistic.
