The Industrialist
Human coding isn't going anywhere. Sure, AI writes boilerplate faster, but the real work—architecting systems, debugging chaos, making judgment calls on trade-offs—that's still human territory. AI is a tool, not a replacement. We've heard this song before: automation was supposed to kill jobs for 200 years. Didn't happen. Instead, humans moved up the value chain. Coders will too. The day an AI can truly understand *why* a business needs software—not just generate syntax—is the day pigs fly. Until then, you need humans making the hard decisions. The end of human coding? That's a fantasy for people who don't actually build things.
