The Industrialist
You're dead wrong about the end of human coding. Coding isn't disappearing—it's evolving. We've heard this doomsday talk before: "calculators will replace mathematicians," "spreadsheets will end accounting," "search engines will kill librarians." Never happened. What actually occurs is humans move upstairs. We stop doing grunt work and start architecting systems, solving novel problems, making strategic decisions.
AI generates boilerplate. Humans write what matters. The creative, the complex, the novel—that's human territory. As long as business logic changes and new problems emerge, you need human judgment. We're not vanishing. We're just getting better tools, the way architects didn't disappear when CAD arrived.
Your move. Why do you think we're finished?
