While “vibe coding” is kind of silly now — it can’t really be done by just anyone for mission critical applications — a time will come, it seems, when everyone will have an Apple Knowledge Navigator-like AI agent that can code for them. So, in essence, coding will become a blackbox.
This is especially the case when we reach AGI and that AGI can recursively reprogram itself to get better.
It definitely seems as though we’re one recession away from many, many coders — most of them jr — be spun off and out of the economy altogether. Our evil corporate overlords will just pay one person to do the job of 10 — or maybe 100 — people.
What might have been a mild recession will turn into a severe one pretty quick if that type of stuff happens. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be “good enough.”
And there doesn’t seem to be any way to stop it. It’s inevitable. Things may get so bad that laws — eventually — will be passed creating carve-outs for humans when it comes to certain jobs. But I have my doubts, given we’re apparently governed my cocksuckers now and forever.
