It might take away the joy of programming, feeling of ownership and accomplishment.

People today complain about having to program a bunch of api calls might be in for a rude awakening, tending and debugging the piles of chatbot output that got mashed together. Or do we expect that in the future we will suddenly value quality over speed or #features?

I love coaching juniors. These are humans, I can help them with their struggles and teach them. I try to understand them, we share experiences in life. We laugh. We find meaning by being with each other on this lonely, beautiful planet in the universe.

Please do not take offense: observe the language in which we are already conflating human beings with bots. If we do it already now, we will collectively do it in the future.

We are not prepared.

I actually think we will. People are starting to realise where slapping together crap that works 80% of the time gets us, and starting to have second thoughts. If and when we reach a world where leaking people's personal information costs serious money (and the EU in particular is lumbering towards that), the whole way we do programming will change.
