#3Is this another "beta" feature? It says it's available today, but I don't see it.

#4I really think the current paradigm of literally typing if else logic all day into programs, and then getting paid huge money to do so will go away. Programming is going to be much higher level and accessible, though still complex. It will take five years or so.
Edit:
My prediction is essentially that:
You give it a set of requirements for an api, with edge conditions written in plain English. Test cases are provided. And the vanilla api is generated. We aren’t that far from this. It’s going to happen. Programmers may go in and tweak the generated code. When the requirements change, you pass in the old code as context.
Complex software will require human coding. But most programmers are in denial about how complex the code they’re writing actually is.
Requimemts gathering is notoriously tricky, but you won’t need engineers for it. Welcome to the age of the PM

It specifically says in multiple areas of the article that it's not available today.
"Google Colab will soon introduce..."
"Access to these features will roll out gradually in the coming months, starting with our paid subscribers in the U.S. and then expanding into the free-of-charge tier. We'll also expand into other geographies over time. Please follow @googlecolab on Twitter for announcements about new releases and launches."

The bi-furcation of programmer careers will intensify.
Think of it like hedge fund traders vs stay-at-home retail traders.
The closer you are to the core AI stack, the more you will get paid - kind of like hedgefund traders.
If you are just copy pasting ChatGPT mostly, then you will get disintermediated at some point.

#7I'm tired of Google announcing something in the future; wake me up when it's actually out.

#8(Shamelessly spreading the word about my open source tool)
You can do GPT-4 powered coding chats in your terminal today with aider. It's not free in the sense that you need a gpt-4 api key, which openai charges you for. But it's a pretty great way to collaborate with AI on code.

#9The animated gif for the first example leaves a lot to be desired.
The UX: Click a button, type in a prompt, click another button. The speed just to generate 2-3 lines of code.
And AI generated code with no basic error handling.

I disagree with this as well. The number of people legitimately working on LLMs right now is probably only in the hundreds. One or a few huge models will do all the programming automation. But yes, high paying developer jobs will exist. The rest will not pay as well, and with much worse job security. This field is going to change very fast
