A Developer's Guide To Thrive vs. AI In Coding
The Server Side, Friday, March 21st, 2025
Will AI replace software developers? No, if humans focus on what they can do best and AI can't: experienced analysis, imagination and creativity.
The impact of artificial intelligence on the lives of software developers will equal, if not eclipse, the impact of the personal computer and the internet. In short, AI is a game-changer.
The writing is on the wall for many programmers, too. Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview earlier this year: "Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of mid-level engineer that you have at your company that can write code."
But, take heart! Human software developers still have a critical role in today's technology landscape -- it just won't be slinging the type of code that's been written a thousand times before. AI in coding will shine there.
