The printing press killed the work of scribes, people who copied books page by page. It was a form of art and craftsmanship. It didn't disappear completely, but 99% of production moved to the printing press.

Programming will follow the same path. Typing code by hand will be relegated to 1%, while 99% will be generated by assistants and agents.

Is this a bot comment? You’re just repeating the comment you replied to.

No, it's not a bot. I just tried to answer the same deal in different comments.

The 1% will be 100x bigger than the 100% of 10 years ago.

As well, but the 99% will be how much bigger? Well, last week GitHub incident shown the commits and PR grown by 14 times.
