alt Hacker NewsThis is really not true. There are stories of people who had no background in software engineering who now write entire applications using AI. And I have personally seen this happen.

What is not true, that "so many software engineers are having an identity crisis"?
I don't believe they said that folks new to AI can't make impressive use of it. They did however say that senior folks with lots of scrappy and holistic knowledge can do amazing things with it. Both can be true.

Its silly to say this but one such person is „pewdiepie”
Smart people can hit the ground running if they're freed from the need to first learn the intricacies of a new language. We're going to see an explosion in the number of people writing software as clever people who invested their time in something other than learning to program are now able to write software for themselves.
