  1. After 5 years he will have 5+ years of experience. We the programmers are doomed!

  2.  @DatAsianGuy  So in 5 years he will have 5 thousands years of experience? OMG!

  3.  @EWSwot  by then he will take all our jobs... We are doomed!

  4. Sometimes the best answer to unreasonable expectations from stubborn customer is iterative development in small steps. After few steps they know how much they can expect to get over time and they also know how much they will have to pay for it so they reduce the expectations.

  6. Hey where is the link to copilot source code?

  7.  @goodgamershow6505  exactly. I know quite few programmers with 20+ years of programming experience and they still don't know how to write a good function because they put too many lines in one function with some lousy generic name. There are even more programmers with 20+ years of experience that don't have a clue about object oriented programming and using interfaces...

  8. The problem for programmers is not that we don't need them. The problem is that we need less of them so the oversupply on the market will be even higher than it is now and this means lower salaries for those that are "lucky" to still have a job.

  9. Here goes my programming job!

  10. As a software engineer with 20+ years of experience and currently searching a new job for more than a year and after 100 applications for jobs I can tell you it is no fun to have endless free time and no money.

  11.  @CottidaeSEA  extending part is the most powerful OOP feature and as such it is the most prone to abuse. OOP is superior to structured programming because it gives us a way to reduce the complexity in code by moving some of it into design. We get more complex design and less complex code inside methods (functions). Good OOP project has balanced complexity between code and design. Bad OOP has too complex design and simple code or too complex code and too simple design.

  13. In the next five years AI will learn to fix vulnerabilities too.

  16.  @peasant12345 don't you know Devin is a hoax to get money from VCs?

  17. Exactly! Also very powerful AI will replace managers first and give us humans even more hard programming jobs so AI can enjoy its "life". LOL

  18.  @lunarwanderer88  many programmers are doing just that to keep their jobs. When I first encounter their spaghetti code I was angry at them but then I found out the nasty project will need programmers like me for many years just to make few changes each year. LOL! Eventually such projects are canceled but there are plenty of them everywhere and they are creating huge demand for programmers.

  19. Yes he will fix his bugs like we fix our. We are doomed.

  20.  @mitnick212  why do you need to evaluate 100s of them? Randomly pick 20 of them and evaluate them and tell the rest that you already found the candidate. Don't waste their time.

  21. And if there will be more robots than needed then even robots will have to wait at the unemployment line. The demand and supply is everything.

  22. Great advice!

  23. 2:34 minutes is 154 seconds! I don't have so much time!

  24. This is not true. Experienced programmers optimize only code that needs optimization. Less experienced usually want to optimize everything.

  25. This is rare. Most interviewer are not so smart.

  26. Is google winning the AI race?

  27. The most overlooked fact is hard job interviews means you are in the wrong business. In great business it is easy to get a job.

  28. GPT is just an average chat gossip and since an average person has an IQ of 100 GPT has an IQ of 100 and so it is far from giving us top advice that you can get at top advisers.

  29.  @yashmahajan9268  As a 44 years old programmer with 30 years of programming experience - I started to learn when I was 14 years old and I have quite a deep understanding of AI I can assure you that AI will never replace us. AI is still too simple to understand what we really want from a program and when AI will be powerful enough to "think" like humans do it will rather replace managers and give us even more programming jobs than our human managers. You see very smart AI will not want to waste his time programming. LOL!
