There’s probably a Turing award for whatever comes next, and for whatever comes after that.
And I don’t think that AI will replace developers at any rate. All it might do is show us how futile some of the work we get saddled with is. A new kind of framework for dealing with the sorts of things management believes are important but actually have a high material cost for the value they provide. We all know people who are good at talking, and some of them are good at talking people into unpaid overtime. That’s how they make the numbers work, but chewing developers up and spitting them out. Until we get smart and say no.
