People underestimate the work of others all the time. So much more with the clankers, this is the AI eternal story. Anything the AI does, becomes irrelevant and “just some calculations” automatically. Programming languages are on the way to become just a eccentricity of the past, like Hamming code ‪ Or punch cards. We will have other arrifacts though: specs, evals, architecture diagrams, PRDs, research papers… Software engineering in general is more difficult to “ignore”, if the clanker could do it, it could do any type of white collar job. But is it not clear that it will be able to do that.
