I'm 2-3 years from now if coding AI continues to improve at this pace I reckon people will rewrite entire projects.

I can't imagine not reading the code I'm responsible for any more than I could imagine not looking out the windscreen in a self driving Tesla.

But if so many people are already there, and mostly highly skilled programmers imagine in 2 years time with people who've never programmed!

Seems dangerous to wager your entire application on such an uncertainty
