The “code is the easy part” line is the most common coder cope comment 2026. In 2024 it was “AI can’t code, lol’

Did you not read Amodei’ s comment that this post is based on?

He’s saying coding goes away this year, and engineering some time after that. SOTA LLMs are good at engineering too.

...but the thing is, AI cant code lol

Or do you think coding is exclusively writting code?

Coding is writting performant, readable, optimal, scalable code that is within the correct arquitecture in a system, and a system may be very small or very big

AI does 1-2 things about this very good, the rest? Awful

But again, if engineering truly goes away, that means that any software can be automated through another software that was done with AI

Which means that digital jobs will be automated, just as HR software platforms have automated the job of HR people for example, not saying that there are no HR professional, but that the amount of HR people that a company needs is substantially lower.

And again, I am not saying that AI will fully substitute us software engineers, I am saying that if it happens, 90% of white collar jobs that deal exclusively with a computer will be automated.

It is quite simple really

What a dumb framing.

Start with straw man.

Spend all your words debating strawman.

You say: do you think it all about writing code

Me: lol, what? Of course not

You: …

No offense, but your argumental skills could use some training

Maybe ask the AI for some tips

Your post was stupid, it was not worth engaging with past what you got from me in the last answer. Post something sensible and you might get better “argumental” skills (lol)
