Re:We need 70% less coders as the AI handles most of the coding by kadoban on Monday May 27, 2024 @01:39AM (#40487890)
At a big corp: 90% of my job is talking to various people to figure out what we want to code, who has to approve it, who I have to coordinate changes with, etc. AI can currently _maybe_ do half of the 10% that's left, with good amounts of supervision.

The supervision is also difficult to do unless people get enough experience actually doing the job, so expect it to take even longer to get people to verify the code once it's written by AI. This is the same concern people have about autonomous driving. If you let the machine take over, then you'll be out of touch when you're called on to do the real tricky bits of work.
