Description

A couple weeks ago, Boris Cherny - the creator of Claude Code - went on a couple podcasts and said "coding is practically solved" and the Anthropic CEO (Dario Amodei) said that the software engineer role will go extinct this year. Fortune ran a headline: "Software engineers may not exist by year end." That was the last straw for me. Because every six months, like clockwork, someone new makes this claim. Jensen Huang said nobody should learn to code. Dario Amodei predicted AI would write 90% of code by September 2025 - six months later it didn't happen, so he made the same prediction again later. But I'm not here to say AI coding is useless - far from it. I use AI coding assistants every single day, and they legitimately 10x my productivity. The truth lives in the gray area, and that's what I cover in this video. Software engineering isn't dying, but it is certainly transforming.
