Generative AI Can Write Computer Code. Will We Still Need Software Developers?
Summary
For example, a generative AI tool can check through existing code and suggest improvements or create alternatives that are more efficient. Given that generative AI’s capabilities are progressing so fast, we can expect the technology to catch up with more experienced developers in the not-so-distant future. Admittedly, the work of junior coders could potentially be at risk as more development tasks are automated by AI. And let’s not forget that, for someone like a higher-level developer or programmer, writing code isn’t the main thing they do all day. In fact, writing code may take up as little as 20% of their time, with the rest spent on gathering requirements, testing, meetings, collaborating with users, overseeing projects and other tasks.
