Unfortunately I think this is exactly true. It essentially means that many executives are completely incompetent.

You product teams are where your company's value is generated. It is kinda scary to think that so many executives don't understand that.

Unfortunately it seems like a large subset of execs can only think one quarter at a time.

Yes this is honestly the silliest part of the whole conversation.

I am currently employing 6 software engineers in my company. If from tomorrow they were 10x more productive then I would employ 6 software engineers because that is the budget I have.

Their increased productivity would lead to a faster growth and I would then have budget for more.

If you increase the productivity of software engineers then people will hire more software engineers not fewer.

I think there are types of problems that AI will be great at solving. If you can pass in a whole codebase then we might have LLMs that can suggest refactoring etc to improve code quality.

Code mods like upgrading from python 2 -> 3 could also become possible.

Exactly!

Code is just a medium used to build software, the real value comes from analyzing problems and finding solutions.

I agree with this. I think coder is even worse.

Software engineer or Software developer are much better terms.

On: AI is not a replacement for programming

[AndreasMoeller]

AI is not a replacement for programming. The Metaverse is not the future of the internet and Jensen is not a first name!
