If I got a dollar for every time someone says "Programmers will be replaced by..." I'd be replaced by retirement.
I remember being in college in the early 2000s and asking a professor about that, and he mentioned that they'd been saying it since the 70s (at least) and it hasn't gotten any closer to being a reality.
Well, I don't deny the possibility, but... Have you looked at the ideas people had?
Every step it’s right there making me faster. It’s like horse drawn cart straight to a rocket ship. Invigorating, stimulating. I’m averaging 4 hours sleep because I just love creating with this tool.

Programmers are people with ideas. Without the ideas, you can't write the code.
And now we’re rapidly adjusting our roadmap and a bunch of people on the business side of the company have been reaching out to find out more about my prototype. The executive even called me on Saturday because he was so excited that he’d been doing research and wanted more details.
I had one guy in sales today tell me that this was the most exciting thing he’s seen in the 3+ years he’s been with the company.
Developers have ideas and skills. Everyone has ideas. Developers are the ones who can execute on those ideas.
If the future of the profession is endless meetings about ideas while AI does the work for me, then that's a crappy future and, honestly, there are people who are loads better at ideas than me.
Programmers are people with ideas. Without the ideas, you can't write the code.
Even prompts that are good to produce the individual functions needed that make up the whole isn't really there. You still need to personalize or ask for further tuning of the code.
Which takes a programmer.
But now you dont have a programmer and language mess. You now have AI mess and language mess.
