I am learning that I am an unusual CEO in many ways. Some know that I still code on nights and weekends (
github.com/lattner) despite a busy “day job”.
As part of that, I care deeply about sw development as a profession, and what “AI anxiety” is doing to many early and experienced developers.
IMO, AI is here to stay, super useful today for things, and will continue to improve… but is far from SWE job displacement. It is sad for me to see many talented people giving up hope and sabotaging their own career development because of a future that may not actually arrive!
Please watch the video for a much more nuanced discussion about the issues involved, particularly if you are an early career engineer who wants to make a big impact on things!!
