https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/magazine/ai-coding-programming-jobs-claude-chatgpt.html>I recently visited Ebert, a machine-learning engineer and former neuroscientist, at the spare apartment where he and Conor Brennan-Burke run their start-up, Hyperspell. Ebert, a tall and short-bearded 39-year-old with the air of a European academic, sat before a mammoth curved monitor. Onscreen, Claude Code — the A.I. tool from Anthropic — was busy at work.>Ebert grew up in the ’90s, learning to code the old-fashioned way: He typed it out, line by painstaking line. After college, he held jobs as a software developer in Silicon Valley for companies like Airbnb before becoming a co-founder of four start-ups.>All that ended last fall. A.I. had become so good at writing code that Ebert, initially cautious, began letting it do more and more. Now Claude Code does the bulk of it. The agents are so fast — and generally so accurate — that when a customer recently needed Hyperspell to write some new code, it took only half an hour.>He and Brennan-Burke, who is 32, are still software developers, but like most of their peers now, they only rarely write code. Instead, they spend their days talking to the A.I., describing in plain English what they want from it and responding to the A.I.’s “plan” for what it will do. Then they turn the agents loose.>A.I. being A.I., things occasionally go haywire. Sometimes when Claude misbehaves and fails to test the code, Ebert scolds the agent: Claude, you really do have to run all the tests.>To avoid repeating these sorts of errors, Ebert has added some stern warnings to his prompt file, the list of instructions — a stern Ten Commandments — that his agents must follow before they do anything. When you behold the prompt file of a coder using A.I., you are viewing a record of the developer’s attempts to restrain the agents’ generally competent, but unpredictably deviant, actions.
That's a lot of em dashes, therefore didn't read.
Imagine reading all of that lmao

>>108527972>>Ebert grew up in the ’90s, learning to code the old-fashioned way: He typed it out, line by painstaking line.This is product placement, trying to intimidate you into thinking that manually programming is somehow antiquated.
>>108527972idk ask an AI to replace one of the apps you use heavily and see how well it does.
>>108527972why does the right image look like a black guy
But can AI translate business requirements into code, make code modular while still being coherent, and write performant code?
>>108528042snnnnniiiiiiffffffffffff...oh yes my dear....sssnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiffffffff...
>>108527972Buy an ad
>>108527972and what did they make?I've noticed that's always omitted like it's not important
>>108527972>before becoming a co-founder of four start-ups.not a real software developer and never washate these grifter yc retards
>>108527972Based as fuck. Even Silicon Valley knows that AIGODS are the future.We will replace all codetrans
>>108529175You are committed to the bit, I'll give you that.
>>108527972codemonkey jobs are ending. Its like back in the day when tractors replaced farm workers. 1 competent programmer + AI will do more work than 10 monkeys and will produce better code. I've unironically seen webniggers estimate 1-2 days (8-16 hours) to add a button to a website. Now you do it in a single prompt and the webniggers are eating shit.
>>108527972>like most of their peers now, they only rarely write code
>>108528292yes
Stop bumping this shitty thread
>>108527972im a master proompter that's been proompting since gpt3 days and I can vibe code but I cannot code by hand at all, what's the job I should be looking for called? I know companies need someone to manage all that proompting
>>108528897Exactly, I keep hearing about all of these startups expecting AI to make them rich. Yet, where are the stories of anything actually being produced by these fuckers?With so much efficiency gained from AI where the fuck are the products?
>>108530545So where are you getting the guy that understands code? All the retard executives imagine a world where senior engineers handle agents doing the legwork.What happens when the senior engineers are gone?
>>108527972If you have no experience with senior-level programming then you have so much no idea how much it's not ending. It's ludicrous how much it's not ending.
>>108531208Saying the now-equivalent of seniors will disappear is like saying farmers are gonna disappear because mud turnip farmers were disappearing in the 1800s
