alt Hacker NewsNo, because pairing with AI is not the same as how we've come to define coding/programming.
It's something different. To say that it'll be _better_ relative to some stated measurement is fine.
Let's use a driving analogy. You can say cars get you from point A to point B so self-driving and teleportation are better evolutions. But you wouldn't say if someone wanted drive a car, enjoyed driving a car, wanted to get better at driving a car, they should get in a Waymo. Or teleport.
Right, but lets keep that analogy going, it's a good one.
One can envision perhaps a future where, e.g. the majority of people (everywhere) don't drive cars because of public transport + Waymos.
In that world, issues surrounding "humans driving" take on a completely different flavor and relevance. Safety matters less, preferences of interfaces can matter more, etc. etc.
And I suppose it feels like the programming equivalent is around the corner, if not already here.
