    To be fair, those punch cards programs had a lot of bugs that we only found years later because our tools made it easier to catch them.

      “it works as long as you don’t fuck it up” has always been a strong programming mentality.

    We need to understand code and the logic to write one but we don’t need to spend an eternity to keep up with all the updates and rewriting the already written codes so we need someone else to speed up that process for us to make our ideas reality without the extra effort that could now be avoided with ai all we need to do is fix and polish the errors in the code, hear it’s suggestions for the work plans and improve them because honestly ai is still not that smart to figure out everything on its own and by then we be living the boss life with ai being the wage-slave that we don’t even need to pay.
