Coding in 2024 = Dead? The Best Language to Learn is English? 🤔☠️

I guess not.

It's marketing strategy is something we should learn from.

The disaster didn't happen because of a new model but the headline that said "the first AI Software Engineer"

Cognition business is to sell an AI tool, and they are doing an amazing job at marketing their product.

I'm personally excited about all those new tools, and I'm on the Devin waiting list and really looking forward to trying it.

Now, that being said based on the information available, they say that Devin scores 13.86% on the SWE BENCH Benchmark. What I hear is that it still fails 86.14 % of the time. When I visit Cognition's website, I can see that they are hiring Software Engineers.

I don't feel like we are even close to AI replacing Human Software Engineers. I'm personally not afraid, but I keep a close eye on progress and make sure I stay up-to-date and relevant no matter which direction things go.

Thanks for the article Arjun

We dont need to be feared from replacement , just we need to adopt it in our life so that we can maintain a balanace with it

Agreed! This is something we have to take in mind rather than living in denial.

Just remember that software Engineering isn't coding 100%. Coding is just a small part of the entire Software Development Lifecycle.

AI will and always be a tool for us to iterate & search things faster.

Improve your hard skills, knowledge & experience. Don't let the media drive the fear to your head 😉

Don't worry, the Developers know how to create a bug and work on them for their living, lol

The day an AI model can understand the actual development requirements of my clients, I'll search for a new job.

I'm ready to bet this will not happen before I retire

The true value of AI will show itself when profit margins start getting cut due to AI caused bugs that AI can’t fix.

I discuss this a lot in my post here:


And this guy sums up a lot of this nicely:

Actually, to be lazy is bad, not AI. AI is just a tool. People are not ready to use this kind of tool, but this is another discussion.

When you say that AI can destroy our future, is a statement that was said by other people in other contexts, with Google, calculator, and other tools.

Also, I do not believe that AI will do the same job that programmers do today as some CEOs are trying to sell This belief comes from ideology, not science. I do not think that AI will ever replace humanity. It can not be trained by its own output, so AI will always depend on humans to work.

In my perception, there is no such thing as "war against AIs", we don't fight tools, we just use them.

Yes, we all do.

You can check out courses on YouTube. It's a great place to begin if you have zero knowledge about a field. And after that, you can switch to some paid resource or continue with YouTube.

Believe me, it's literally a free university.
