> if I can’t convince you, maybe this article from 2017 where Andrej Karpathy (director of AI at Tesla/OpenAI) will.

Yeah... uhh not to throw too much shade, but isn't a car driving itself simpler than writing software? If programmers are going away then does that include the ones working on self-driving cars? Hell, wouldn't this displace all engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc. in general? Are the businesses of the future going to be run by even more heartless robot CEOs? Why isn't that also discussed? Why are these stories always about "programming"?

If AI replaces programmers and engineers, does that mean Tesla will become the world's first business without any humans working there? ;)

Writing code is "easier" than most other things, especially driving, because you get unlimited do-overs (up to practical limits). If the code doesn't compile, tweak it and try again. If the car doesn't stop for a pedestrian... uh oh!

If your goal is to get code to merely compile, that's a sad state of affairs. Ditto if people believe all devs do for a living is write code.
