A few weeks ago, Jeffrey asked a question on the Laracasts channel about our predictions for the future of programmers in the AI era. Like you, I followed the AI discussions on Twitter between doomers predicting we'd lose our jobs and bloomers joking about the stupid mistakes an AI made while generating code.
The changes AI will bring will not be drastic at first, but they will be disruptive in the long run.
In the early days of computers, people wrote software using a language with zero abstraction level from the hardware, machine language.
The rest will work as architects rather than programmers, defining the rules that the AI should follow while creating the program.
