  1. Coding is dead? I wouldn't know. I am programming an embedded CPU with limited memory and power restrictions to run a real-time animation on a smart-watch display right now. I doubt there is a tool out there (AI or not) that would even know how to compress the custom character set that I am using into the available Flash memory or how to perform the graphics compositing without using ten times the available RAM. Everything is "easy and straight forward" without resource constraints and there are plenty of solutions out there that can do this with very limited coding... but once the platform is limited those canned solutions are running out of steam extremely quickly.

  2. That's because your brother is the kind of micromanaging middle manager who doesn't want to hire a creative professional who can do things that he can't. There are welders who can't weld a rod to a sheet without setting the concrete on fire and then there are welders who can make a life sized dinosaur out of old cars. Your brother's employees are of the first kind. :-)

  3. This has nothing to do with capitalism. Meta has wasted $50 billion, if not more, on what a serious computer game developer would call a toy game so far... with no usable results. The simple fact is that the industry has put itself into a position of maximum inefficiency and that has bread an entire class of lazy throw-away coder. People with zero algorithmic knowledge, zero creativity and zero interest in anything that doesn't spell "frontend", "middleware" or "backend". Will these people become obsolete? Absolutely. These jobs shouldn't have existed in the first place. It's not a good use of human resources.
