Hi I was reading article on Edge technology as an automation for the industry. It seems that it will modernize the tech field. And this makes me curious, just like AI is growing so gradually, then what will be the future of the developers. AI can write the code and edge technology speeds up the process.
How does it change the developer’s life? Sometimes it feels like it will takes the place of the developers and reduces the developers ability to thinks as we are developing a habit of using AI for writing so much code. How can we keep ourselves more advance with rapidly growing technologies?

My experience is that AI can write lots of code that can be both useless and valuable. Depending on the input you give AI.
The quality of the code AI write are sometimes messy. Complicated code that is hard to maintain and understand. And sometimes not even work.
I think AI is outstanding as a “sparring partner” to find new angles of how to code. But it is not the solution of all problems. You also have to think yourself IMO.

This. It’s only as good as the guidance you can give to the AI. It doesn’t follow best practices or latest code. I’ve asked for latest code and the output often had code that I knew had been deprecated long ago.

Also, it’s still the case that you only can earn good money as a developer when you are able to develop new apps, specialized for some use cases. If you ask AI to do that for you, you only get useless code as there is nothing in the net that matches the needs.

You mean the problem-solution mindset >> AI?. As AI don’t know our problems and humans knows that.
Yes, AI is not able to invent something. It can only reproduce.

AI is the future & we humans have to adapt the new & emerging technologies in order to survive. AI can help us in the long run, for that we have to use our brain to justify what the AI is teaching us it true or not.
For example, I hired a writer to write about a topic for a teer website, I give him clear instructions not to use Chatgpt or AI tool & gave him the outline of the topic. Gues what he Did? He opened gpt & asked it to write a complete article. He didn’t bothered to check for factual data or anything, instead he copied the whole article which was generated by gpt & pasted it a doc file & shared the doc url with me. I on the other hand after reading the 1st paragraph judged it, based on my experience that it was generated by chat gpt!

Actually I told him not to use AI in the sense that don’t generate the article & copy/paste the entire AI generated article.
Instead, take help from gpt by generating multiple headline variations, meta titles, meta description & other content & proof read it. Add some factual data by doing research on the topic & add his own input as well.
This way it can be a powerful article which has all the important things, & it has been generated after doing proper research.

The only rule is to keep moving by all means and stresses, staying updated with latest tech takes a lot of effort and is a risk worth to be taken off.
Staying ahead with rapidly growing technologies means continuous learning and adaptability. Keep up with industry trends through online courses, tech blogs, and forums, and experiment with AI tools, automation, and smart devices to improve your skills. Networking with experts, joining webinars, and hands-on practice are key to staying relevant.

Whos going to correct the AI if it outputs wrong code?
The developer will save the day
I don’t know if this is naïve, but I think back to my early career as a digital artist. Back in the early 90’s us whizz kids came on the scene with our magic computers, and traditional artists, photographers, model makers etc were side-lined.
The problem was albeit we could do wonders with our software, a lot of us had mediocre artistic talent and this was reflected in the artwork, animations etc being produced - for some reason, ‘lawnmower man’ comes to mind.
By the end of the 90s as software became more powerful and usable, large production houses were more interested in hiring people who had raw talent - people who could draw, paint, sculpt, who understood cinematography etc. They weren’t interested in what software they knew as they could train them.
I wonder if once the dust settles we will see a similar situation with AI and coding. Rather than having clueless individuals typing in ‘make me this’ or ‘make me that’, firms will be looking for people with real programming skills to work with AI.
I confess I have had my head somewhat buried in the sand, so as I say this may well be a bit naïve. Just a thought
