The Post-Developer Era
When OpenAI released GPT-4 back in March 2023, they kickstarted the AI revolution. The consensus online was that front-end development jobs would be totally eliminated within a year or two.Well, it’s been more than two years since then, and I thought it was worth revisiting some of those early predictions, and seeing if we can glean any insights about where things are headed.
It’s smart enough to catch and often fix TypeScript or lint errors, and there have even been a few times that I’ve learned something new, where the suggested solution was better than what I had planned to write, thanks to some cool API I wasn’t aware of. We’re only a couple of months in, and Trump has already torched the world economy, gutted the federal government, made it an unsafe place to visit for non-citizens, and started a global trade war. If you’re passionate about software development, or if you see it as the best opportunity for you to earn a high salary that’ll lift you into the upper middle class, I really hope you won’t let yourself get discouraged by AI hype.
