Discussing it LIVE here.

- AWS CEO Matt Garman shared insights on AI's impact on developer roles during a June fireside chat, suggesting most developers might not be coding in 24 months. - Garman emphasized that coding is just a language to communicate with computers, and the real skill lies in innovation and building user-centric solutions. - He advised developers to focus more on understanding customer needs and the end goals of their projects, rather than just writing code. - Garman's tone was optimistic, highlighting opportunities for developers to upskill and leverage AI to enhance productivity. - AWS spokesperson Aisha Johnson reiterated that AI tools will help developers achieve more, not reduce their roles, aligning with similar predictions from other tech leaders.

I have subscribed for: - ChatGPT Plus, but I'm planning to try Claude for few months - Github Copilot, but I am trying out Codium as well. - Midjourney - just for fun, I like generating art for my random ideas

I haven't heard of Jasper and Copy.AI in months. Peppercontent and Writesonic don't come as often on my Li anymore. With the HCU destroying AI SEO are these companies even going to be relevant anymore? As it is Claude and Open AI are cheaper

I feel at the pace AI is advancing, most of us will be unemployed. The uncertainty is making me anxious, any help appreciated :)
