They're going to crush a bunch of programmers in a giant hydraulic press.

I know you're making a joke but this meme that AI will kill programming jobs is imo false.

What it will kill are (very junior) coding jobs. In the way that computers killed typists but not writers.

It’s been increasingly difficult to make money writing, even before AI. I believe AI will kill >90% of writing jobs in the near future. With a GPT-5 level model, a human manager/editor will be able to lay off most of their writers. The top writers will remain, of course, but I have no idea what will happen to the rest.

Pretty sure it’s the same situation with programmers.
