Wake me up when companies either stop hiring programmers and/or lay programmers off en masse.

I don’t disagree that automation will eventually affect all job sectors. It’s just a matter of when it will happen though.

What is cheaper: senior programer or intern with AI tool that cost 10$ and can code better than senior?

I’m not arguing value. I’m just saying no one knows when these mythical revolutionary products will actually be in production. Could be soon, could be decades.

Have you seen OpenAI's Codex? It's not going to be even 5 years.

Those are just papers, I don’t think there’s any correlation between papers and deployment of products.

Models are being pumped at the same rate.

You didn't answer.

Answer what, if I’ve seen Codex? I’m not a software engineer or a programmer, so I have no reason to interact with it. Also are models being pumped into production? To me, there’s a gulf between proof of concept and mass production.
