AI won't kill dev jobs anytime soon

January 31, 2025

For the past few months I've been coding with both Claude and ChatGPT as my pair programming "buddies". Both are good, even though I'm more inclined to Claude.

Am I more productive? Absolutely. I can get a lot more done in a lot less time. But it doesn't replace vision, planning and logic.

AI won't build you a product by itself (for now)

I'm sure it's a PM's or a non-technical founder's wet dream to ask AI to build their product and get it done in hours. But it won't happen. AI understands how to do things at a granular level but not as a whole, or even less, as a business. It won't connect all the dots.

I tried it multiple times, I wanted to make a video about it, but failed every time. I spent more time debugging and eventually scrapping the codebase out of frustration.
