My tired brain just found the perfect term for people, who are way too optimistic about “AI” writing code: brogrammers.

Here’s what the “AI will replace developers” crowd fundamentally misunderstands: code is not an asset—it’s a liability. Every line must be maintained, debugged, secured, and eventually replaced. The real asset is the business capability that code enables.

AI isn't replacing developers, it's transforming them.

If some company were to create a tool, that actually manages to replace and supersede programmers, it would use the tool to dominate the market instead of selling it as a service.

Big Tech will never make programming as easy as writing a couple of prompts. They are profitable because of the complexity of software development.
