I assume that a housefly does have a basic form of consciousness. It's not going to write Shakespeare but it probably wants to mate. (I know people who's life goals don't appear to extend much further).
When AI can reliably convert business-speak into efficient bug-free code, everyone will be out of a job, because the business owners will ask it to write them another AI to replace every other task their business does.
If people are truly novice, with zero programming experience, how would they know the code is correct? If not, how to debug it?
I would say this is more promising for scenarios to generate more formularitive things like business report generation. But even that, it requires in depth understanding of what those data/tables really means, and how to handle exceptions, etc.
Kind of. A theme in programming since the beginning has been automation. You're using a computer anyway to do a more or less well defined task, naturally programming itself is one of the prime targets for automation.
Programming languages are automation tools. Libraries. Frameworks. It should be pretty clear this is a lasting trend, and doesn't necessarily mean programmers will have more or less jobs (due to well known effects of automation such as enabling new applications and increasing demand from increased productivity). It does mean you probably need to keep learning to stay relevant, and use those tools to your advantage!
I’m personally more productive and happy in open office layouts due to ease of communication and the psychology of a pseudo-computer lab setting. Granted I recognize I’m likely in a minority here. I even came from large personal offices and prefer the open office layout
As someone with ADHD, this is strikes me as overblown. I certainly wouldn’t require dedicated personnel to compensate for my ADHD. Especially if medicated.
You're not trying to get a startup off the ground - with a personality that squirrels every 5 mins. That is a distinct difference. SaaS are marathons of grit and will.
I don’t mean to be rude, but you don’t know what I’m working on :). Anyway I agree that adhd posses obstacles and I’ll consider your advice to avoid some of them should I be in the situation you’ve outlined
and as someone undiagnosed, but very probably with it too, someone with less variable productivity than me, and in the same time not my manager, would be of enormous value to me. That shouldn't be a "dedicated personnel", as an assistant or whatever, but project manager for example would be helpful for other people too. I'll certainly try to have such an arrangement at some point.
