Plenty of people will be coding by hand for years to come. They just wont be employed for doing so.

Divide the amount of revenue from the big AI companies by the total number of developers worldwide and you'll see that most are still mostly hand-coding despite what the megaphones on the internet say.

The overwhelming majority AI spend is being done by startups funded by venture capital.

Meanwhile, big companies have massively cut/capped AI spending at the exact time these companies need to triple prices to get any margins at all.

Perhaps dead internet theory applies more than normal to programming forums.

Thank the gods, nobody's forcing me to be employed.
