Will there ever be any more “legendary” programmers ever again now with the rise of AI basically making any coding accomplishments unimpressive?
Show me the AI generated code that puts the work of these people to shame.
There probably won't be any more "legendary" programmers in the future. Not because AI is qualitatively superior but because the incentives of capitalism will force us all to accept the mediocrity of AI generated software and because the lack of opportunities and loss of knowledge created by mass deskilling will make education and community impossible.
