you call it fear, I call it anticipation.
We've had such a spate of piss poor developers over the years that I find it gleeful to think they'll no longer be employable.
Yes, I know that makes me an asshole but I've seen some shit and it actively offends me that these people are paid for the code and the bad name it gives an industry I participate in and love. My hope is that AI will allow the good to great developers to be productive enough to force the craptastic developers to find another career.
My absolute favorite example is the guy who accidentally built a FSM with http redirects for the node transitions, all to animate a progress bar for a job queue on the server. No, he had no idea he had built a FSM.
