Please apply 15,139$ US to continue prototyping.
Funds Confirmed.... continuing.
Prototype on stated metrics complete : project cost at current market is 24 billion US , not including required bid based national quantum processing or changes in individual licensing.
Please note: all oversight and regulatory concerns will be notified as required under the individual licences and operations of accessed systems and operations , this includes Federal and State law enforcement.
Please apply funds too continue build on current metrics or communicate clearly your full name and desire too end the current build narrative.
Warning , failure too close this build narrative will result in ongoing default billing as per this systems terms if service , and will result in legal action and fee recovery.

Headline is extremely alarmist and clickbaity. Computers won't be able to program themselves for hard, difficult tasks that require actual thought processing. The tasks being automated are ones that are extremely rote or otherwise don't require much thought. Programming, at it's core, is a math problem and computers haven't automated math nor will. The past decade of web development has been extremely easy, extremely rote, and almost totally standardized (compared to scientific or industrial computing) anyway.

Most of the work that software engineers do has been done before. It’s all just web forms and fairly simple algorithms (yes I am over simplifying). The difficult part is making it maintainable by using best practices and AI can do that today. We are only a few years away from AI being able to make a Reddit clone on its own. A few years after that AI will be able to make one virtually free of bugs, scaling challenges, and security vulnerabilities.
Fortunately after AI takes over the “simple tasks”, software engineers will be left with more challenging tasks like making sure what AI is doing is what is best for us and how to make outcomes less predictable and thus less easily gamed.

The difficult part is context. There’s no way AI is going to make the form with the inputs I need among 1000 other things humans need to decide while developing software

It can do that because it will do what you ask. There’s enough code out there today to know what inputs it’ll need for virtually any piece of software. If you don’t like it you’ll just tell it what you want changed.
Changes are a big deal for human development teams, but will be nothing when all the work can be completed in a couple hours.
We aren’t there yet, but with focus it’ll be possible very soon (within a few years).

You're describing coding, not software engineering or software design.
phxees t1_jd9wwj7 wrote
Sure, but the AI will be able to handle those tasks as well.
The design and engineering primarily comes from the requirements. If you specify that it should utilize a CDN, AWS, Azure, scale to 10 million monthly active users, have user dashboards, etc, the AI should take those factors into account.
Eventually it will be trusted to handle all aspects.

Who is the "you" in that sentence? Everybody is hyperventilating about AI...just like they did about every technological leap forward. Yes, it'll destroy some jobs but it'll create way more jobs.

I’m not worried, but I do expect everything to change. Many people think their job is too difficult to automate, but I don’t believe that will be proven to be the case.
When we add AI to the cloud and modern software development tools, we find that AI will be able to quickly do some amazing things.
Please note that I am not talking about just ChatGPT, I believe within 5 to 10 years cloud providers could offer a way to create many complex systems in the cloud.

Where’d this website come from all a sudden? Maybe it’s been around, but the toddy time I noticed it was last week, and now every other article on this sub is from it?

Wait what’s the difference between GitHub copilot and power platform copilot?

Hello CoPilot. Please make an app that will keep virtually any user entertained for at least 4 hours a day based on their own personality data points gleaned from their online presence. While user accesses the app, use gameplay to determine even more personality data points and personal information about them. The games should get increasingly more complex which will require the user to devote more time to completing the in game tasks. Compile each saved game into a large scale database that can be sold to law enforcement and government groups in order to keep the general population controlled and at the same time happy without thinking about elections or replacing the current governing system. Also it would be nice if the background of all the forms are a light peach color.
