@MossRC@social.mossrc.me IMO it doesn’t matter whether AI gets better or not, you need experienced software developers even if they’re just prompting stuff.
In a somewhat convoluted example, the nicest concert piano in the world is useless if you let the orchestra owner play on it instead of a pianist.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io Agreed. I'm deeply concerned at the coming loss of knowledge and insurmountable tech debt that lies ahead if more people in software engineering (and especially the managers) don't get their heads around this soon. It's a tool; its power lies in the augmentation, not replacement, of skilled human talent.
