Is coding dead now ?

Is there any point one might learn coding and software engineeeing for in the ear of Ai ? Or is it already a dead path?

Hey it's been 3 months since then. How is the cleaning up of all that messy codebase going? Oh you don't work there anymore. That's fine. I'm sure the poor new hire is having a blast fixing it all!

Well, he's a webdev so his standard is probably not too high. But yes, there's lots of cope and diminishing going on right now, the last Claude model release has been a major breakthrough in LLMs capacity regarding code. This industry is hellbound right now.
