> "I think today coding is practically solved for me, and I think it'll be the case for everyone regardless of domain," Cherny said in the interview, published Tuesday. "I think we're going to start to see the title 'software engineer' go away. And I think it's just going to be maybe builder, maybe product manager, maybe we'll keep the title as a vestigial thing."

Why do we continue to listen to anyone that has a direct vested interest in selling a tool that still requires you to check if it's outputs are correct or not?

Replace "Software engineer" with "Lawyer" or "Doctor" and his prediction will still not make any sense:

I think today practicing law and medicine is practically solved for me and I think it'll be the case for everyone regardless of domain.

They don't care if they are wrong even when this article is just sales nonsense for Anthropic.

> Andrej Karpathy, a founding member of OpenAI and Tesla's ex-head of AI, said in January that he has noticed his ability to manually code has started to "atrophy."

Well maybe we can have lawyers and doctors have their skills atrophy, and they can listen use chatbots all day long because the AI is always correct.

If you're smart, AI will enable you to learn, work, and do things faster and better than ever before. If you're a fool, you'll try to put the tool in charge, and you will destroy everything you've built.
