Lawyers have a tricky thing called a license to practice law. Software developers have no such protection.
Robots are already successfully performing surgeries unassisted, despite a license being required in that field. I do think barred lawyers will have a role for quite a while, but it is plausible it shrinks to oversight.
Small ot, but it's quite interesting that the highest decisive impact generative AI is having right now is on tech workers and software developers in particular. I'm more and more convinced that we're on the edge of a major shake up in the industry with all these tools. Not getting replaced, but at this rate of improvements I can't unsee major changes. A recent junior I have in my team built his first app entirely wi…
The issue I continue to have with many AI coding tools is they want me to use their own editor ("native", aka VSCode fork, or in the browser like this). I have zero intention of moving away from IDEA and nothing I've seen so far is good enough to make me want to switch. I really with there was more of "bringing AI into your existing tools/workflows" instead of "here is a new tool with AI baked in".
Instead of putting the AI in your IDEA, put it in your git repo:

Sticking to my prediction that lawyers will be first.

I wonder if this is at all related to NCEES re-releasing their controls licensure option?
Ironically for these products, the amount of obviously llm generated bot comments astroturfing on HN and making it to the top of these corporate shill posts really aren't attracting me to using any of them. Read a bunch of glassdoor or google map reviews and then read these comments, clear as the water in a glacial lake; if the comments aren't fake, maybe it's just the people working for them that are? If you produce…
If I understand your point, counterargument is that hn comments are made by people who are almost certainly in top 20% by intellect from general population. Compared to some subreddits and YouTube, comments here are made by geniuses.

With AGI you won’t need most of the human race anymore, developers are just the tip of the iceberg. Luckily ChatGPT and the rest have nothing to do with an AI not to mention AGI.
Won't need most of humanity wasting time gatekeeping and toiling, to instead focus on study and leisure.
Unfortunately, I fear we will instead end up sweaty and dirty and bloodied, grappling in the parched terrain, trying to bash members of a neighboring clan with rocks and wooden clubs, while a skyline of crumbling skyscrapers looms in the distance.

Now there's a chance that this unregulated wild west with a low barrier to entry that's benefited us for so long will come back to bite us in the ass. Kind of spooky to think about.

It’s hardly the first time someone has shipped an app within a year of starting to code. It’s impressive, but not revolutionary.

I'm sure that's true but I've also seen non-developers build systems using Access or solve complex critical business problems using excel and similar. I've seen a lot of junior developers tinker with apps and do great work from reading docs and tutorials. I was one of those myself a long time ago. For some problems this is a perfect solution. For a lot it's a short term fix that turns into a long term issue. I've bee…
