> That's why I'm not worried. There is already SO MUCH more demand for code than we're able to keep up with. Show me a company that doesn't have a backlog a mile long where most of the internal conversations are about how to prioritize what to build next.
I worry about junior developers. It will be a while before vocational programming courses retool to teach this new way of writing code, and these are going to be testing times for so many of them. If you ask me why this will take time, my argument is that effectively wielding an LLM for coding requires broad knowledge. For example, if you're writing web apps, you need to be able to spot say security issues. And various other best practices, depending on what you're making.
It's a difficult problem to solve, requiring new sets of books, courses etc.
