Ask HN: Are there any programming positions that are safe from AI?

2•marcAKAmarc•2h ago
I have heard lots of discussion lately about people who are interested in programming and not at all interested in prompt engineering or managing AI agents. What career options are available for those people? Or in other words, what programming related positions exist that involve minimal use of AI agents and are expected to stay that way (if any)?

You have to be someone with good taste. But if you have good taste, you don't need a paid job.

I'm not sure I follow, could you explain further? I can't feed myself with my exquisite taste, can I?
