Mint Primer | Resistance is futile: AI is now writing code
The future of manual coding is reportedly under threat from generative artificial intelligence, automated AI agentic systems and vibe coding. A Harvard Business Review study found a 20% drop in software development roles over two years as AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, Tabnine and Devin streamline coding, reduce costs and modernize systems. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicts AI agents will become virtual co-workers, handling complex software engineering tasks. OpenAI chief product officer Kevin Weil believes that “this is the year that AI gets better than humans at programming forever," while Zerodha CTO Kailash Nadh expects junior developers to be most affected. Andrew Ng calls discouraging coding due to AI automation “the worst career advice ever," arguing AI tools make coding more accessible.
