Many of my discussions focus on the idea that AI will replace programmers. While some roles will change, AI opens up coding to a new generation.
There's a lot of talk around Anthropic's SONNET 3.5 release, especially its new coding capabilities and real-time preview feature. What’s interesting about the sorts of tools, is the ease of which you can create things programmatically, just by asking the right questions. Thanks to AI, we’re empowering a whole new generation with the opportunity to program.
The mundane parts of development may disappear, but the high-level, creative aspects will thrive. This shift allows product managers and other stakeholders to understand and engage in development like never before.
I recently spoke with a client who hadn't coded in twenty years but now can prototype and experiment thanks to these advancements.
This democratization of programming is transformative. More people can now develop software, leading to a broader range of perspectives and approaches.
The future will see millions of new developers, bringing fresh ideas and techniques to the table. These are people who view programming through different lenses—creative, textual, verbal, and cognitive, rather than just engineering.
Programmers are moving from technicians to conductors.
Programmers are moving from technicians to conductors.
This shift isn't just about changing roles; it's about expanding possibilities. The real impact will be a richer, more diverse landscape of innovation, driven by those who think differently.
