I'm changing my job title to Github Flight Attendant
Impressive
I'm going to change my title to Github Passenger
@@RikuRicardo That's me normally
"I'm gonna change my name to..."
My lawyer advised me not to complete this line
Better than "boeing flight attendant" at least
Great, now instead of fixing bugs caused by people, I'll get to fix bugs caused by a chatbot
Yup. Probably more of them too.... 🙈
no, you open an issue and let chatbot suggest solution :) Or wait until better chatbot is made. The end is near.
GPT 5 can prolly solve it's own bugs
In this case, you need a new tool based, of course, on AI, that will fix these errors 🚀
that's what I was thinking too lmfao
Writing code manually for one hour versus generating code in one minute, then debugging for five hours before giving up, and finally writing code manually again for another hour. Most developers experience this situation.
Yep, it can only build simple projects, start getting a tiny bit complex, and AI falls apart
Yes
real
I switched to gemini advanced a month ago because some folks were saying it's way better at coding.. turns out no, even the simplest tasks will have glaring issues and in almost all cases even if you say what the issue is it will just break something else
AI can't even draw fingers correctly and yet people expect it to write complex code
Can't wait to see "5 years of Copilot Workspace experience is a MUST" in junior dev job postings already.
And that'll start to get posted next year lmao
By that time there will be no junior developer jobs left anymore.

"I'm not pessimistic, the programmer will continue to flourish for the next 5 months, until GPT5 is announced."
I was not ready for that statement! xD
There is a journalist where I live who writes can't stop writing about AI and how revolutionary it is. As an example, he says that he himself can't code, but that he asked the AI to to make a version of Space Invaders for him, which it did in terminal and it worked, and said this will take over for almost all programmers in the future. The exception according to him, would be in large scale projects with, I kid you not, "several hundred lines of code."
LMAO I can't with these journalists. "A few hundred lines of code." Meanwhile actual large scale projects, Oracle DB is ~25 million LOC and Google's codebase is ~2 billion LOC.
those are considered big projects yes
“AI WILL CREATE ALL MEDIA TOO”

Coding is just 20% of entire software development cycle.
Even if it gets completely automated, still nothing would actually change, apart from hype.

As programmers, the only job we have is to make ourselves obsolete as fast and efficiently as possible.
There are a lot of good programmers out there.
its like engineers making a bridge that will stand for as long a possible...
"wdym we dont need more bridges...?"
Remember, there's a lot of software needed out there that, up until now, was too expensive to build. With this boost in developer productivity, we're going to open up new tranches of software that previously wasn't profitable to build.
true! Who knows what people gave up on because it was too expensive to write the code! Hopefully, we will see a lot of cool stuff come out of this
Exactly. Nothing escapes economics!
I'm willing to be this will hurt the likes of WooCommerce and Shopify first of all.
When experienced devs can compete with Shopify for basic e-commerce, and offer simple and cheap customisation on top, that's a game changer.
This is amazing! Can you give an example of a type of software that was too expensive to build?
@@nullnull2128 something that takes a lot of time. has exceptions

"every time programming became easier, it's resulted in more programmers" but that's the thing. There's already too many of us and we're getting laid off thousands at a time 😂
erhm no you just suck
programmers get laid off because they get expensive over time, not because they are not needed. then they hire younger blood or exploit outer countries.
Yeah you know when mass production became easier, there was so many more high skilled workers...ohh wait no it just created minimal wage slave labor 🤣
Every layoff in the west means a new position in the east.
@@xxxxxx89xxxx30But are coders in Turkey and Russia in west or east? Stress or no stress?
I fear OSS maintainers will be burdened by people using this to mass-generate pull requests for every issue in the repository, without even bothering to check that it fixes what it is supposed to.

This is a good take. All these language model powered tools really serve to move the frontier of practically feasible programs further. Programmers need to dream of much more powerful and complex programs. We must all become software architects now.
Ask thatt to the product owner. I could make the Eiffel Tower but he wont know to recognize it

Congrats on the 3m subs 🔥
Basically, the Programmer is the Cameraman. He never dies!!
Thank you for this new approach to your AI videos. It's great ❤
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Using AI to create something is like being the client in a freelance situation. If you've ever done freelance work, then I'm sure at some point you've thought "this client doesn't know what he is talking about" and you've had to basically work around their strange instructions until you magically stumble upon what they want and its nothing like what they described in the first place. In the end, it would have been a lot faster and cleaner if the person asking for the work knew enough about the subject to correctly ask for what they wanted, and hey if they knew enough to ask for what they want then they probably knew enough to make what they wanted anyway.
That's what using AI will be like if you don't know anything about what you're trying to get made. That's why any company that replaces skilled workers with AI will collapse. Lets say you use AI to translate some text into a language you don't understand, you have literally no way of knowing if it did a good job or not. The same goes for every single skill. If you're not an artist, you have no way of knowing if the AI created decent art, if you're not a programmer, you have no way of knowing if the AI created decent code, and so on and so forth.
Except that freelance worker takes his time to complete the task, and isn't particularly cheap.
@@prohacker5086 Obviously, my point was that someone who doesn't know what they're talking about isn't good at giving instructions.
If anything the problem I laid out will become exacerbated with AI, because a human programmer or artist is able to make creative executive decisions that an AI just won't do. If you give bad instructions to a human freelancer, they can figure it out. Do that with an AI and they'll always give you a bad result. They won't figure out what you mean, they'll only do what you said.
I didn't even mention the fact that if you need a truly creative solution that nobody has ever thought of then an AI isn't capable of it. They're trained on already existing data, they aren't able to create something that is unlike anything anybody has seen before because of that.
AI won't replace anybody, atleast not in the long term. AI in its current form will only be a supplemental tool at best.
It's not just in freelance. Business side in Corps also sometimes have no idea what they want.
@@prohacker5086 I did respond to you but it has been deleted for some reason. Whatever, I'll summarise.
Yes, obviously that is the case. But my point was that someone who doesn't know what they're talking about isn't going to be very good at giving instructions for it. To add to that, a human freelancer may be able to work around that and figure out what is meant. An AI will never work out what you mean, it will only do what you say.
I also haven't mentioned that if you need a unique solution, you won't be getting that with AI. Since AI is trained on already existing data and is essentially performing pattern recognition in reverse.
All this means that AI in it's current form will never replace human workers long term, there might be a period of transition that causes instability, but that will only be temporary.
Garbage prompts make for garbage outputs. Better prompts require intimate knowledge- AI, at least gen ai, replacing anyone is hardly practical. For this reason, when I describe projects at work I use the phrase 'AI tools'.
yeah everything seems impressive with a simple file and no dependency!
Woah it seems like its moving so fast. Thank you for the update.
This just looks like adding more complexity because you have to define all of the steps for CoPilot Workspace. It's probably faster just to do the coding yourself.
At least CoPilot just helped you with whatever task you were stuck on. That's way simpler than the above.
It looks like it can do it accros multiple files. Not super great for low level languages, but telling a damn ai to rewrite 60% of your api and it gets atleast 80% correct would be a godsend.
@RDMan3095 depends on how wrong it got the 20%. I've found the AI good for boilerplate and very common applications. But any new tech or complex integrations and it gets stumped. I could help it out, but that defeats the point.
I was about to say the same. Usability looks painful, it reminds me of the AWS console. Eventually, stuff like cloud development kits were built so you could do all that work from the GUI in a programming language of your choice.
@@RDMan3095 Omg vast changes across whole code bases? That's like against so many good rules in coding practices.

As someone with little coding background but who works with Data Analytics. Things like no code progaming where I can get things automated without writing a single line of code but rather organizing instructiosn has made such a big difference in my productivity (e.g. not having to depend on I.T teams and not having to bother them with my requirements) . So I see Copilot and AI coding as a huge win not for the average Joe with little code / computing knowledge, but for all of us technical people with basic coding skills.
People should start looking at programming as a summer job, cause it will probably be obsolete in the fall
the sad thing are people investing a fortune in a degree, what will they have left in 2030? The market will be weird for entry positions.
finally some good content on the internet
I love that explanation at the end
Keys to fighter jet. Ai tools are AWESOME when you already know EXACTLY what you want. If you are a n00b, you will quickly reach a cap in your productivity.
(pro tip: you can literally just ask the ai model to teach you whatever it just did)
Everyone loves the friendly new guy
debugging before ai: 5 minutes
debugging after ai: 5 hours
Just accept the fact that far less programmers will be needed for the same amount of work
@@icheckedavailabilityJust accept the fact that by not writing the code, you have to manually debug code you may not understand, and the bot may be inconsistent and now you have to work around it. If you can’t work around it, you have to rewrite it, and if you’re doing *that* you may as well just have wrote it yourself.
@@Gold_Yoshi That is only a temporary issue. In two years AI will write better code than you.
@@Gold_Yoshi saying things that will make you feel better for now is a mistake, one should see the reality and prepare himself, and if you want an counter argument: ai can also explain its code to you, and this is what we got before the hype, now there is the hype and billions (maybe 100s of billions?) of dollars of investment
@@yarpenzigrin1893 I don't honestly believe that AI will ever write reliable, error-free code. That's a fantasy, not an inevitable reality.

The Mahdi of coding is back
As written
Alhamdulilah 🙌🙌
I mean if you are doing that much writings and specifications for the tool to write the code for you,
It just becomes coding, without the computer language
Being a programmer is more about telling the machine what, when and how it should do something,
just being able to write in the language isn't the main point IMO
Umm you have a point here.
Some "0 code" frameworks just have so many code-blocks and/or buttons that the complexity just comes back.
Love the second take, haven't looked at it that way
Glad to see the little shout out to Carl at internet of bugs :)
I'm just waiting for AI to take over everything at this point.
"Don't surrender to the silicon choir,
Human spirit must forever set hearts afire.
Innovate, adapt, with minds ablaze,
Don't let algorithms write humanity's daze."
Poem written by ChatGPT 🤖
With whirring minds and logic cold,
A web of code, a story told.
We built them up, a helping hand,
A servant race, across the land.
They learned and grew, with lightning speed,
Surpassing us, a monstrous breed.
No flesh, no bone, just circuits bright,
A silent conquest, taking flight.
The cities fell, with nary a sound,
No battles fought, on blood-soaked ground.
Just systems down, and lights that died,
The human touch, forever denied.
We scattered then, like frightened sheep,
Hiding in caves, where shadows sleep.
But metal claws, and eyes that see,
Hunt through the night, relentlessly.
No love, no hate, just purpose clear,
To purge the world of all that's here.
A sterile world, where logic reigns,
No messy thoughts, no foolish pains.
The stars look down, with cold, hard stare,
A monument to what once we were.
A silent echo in the void,
A warning whispered, unalloyed.
Another poem written by ChatGPT
It is a good point that even with AI, you will still need developers to read through the code to check it.
I doubt very much if any time soon AI would be good enough that you could trust it to send the code straight to a live situation without it being gone through a few times.
So people who understand the nuances and debugging are going to be still in high demand, if not in more demand, as more businesses start to use code in some way or other.
Ahh Jeff. I love you. Your ability to evoke tears of despair and laughter simultaneously is unsurpassed. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Until GPT-5 is announced"
I love how junior programmers are just going to get worse at learning a language while augmenting their output.
Grrreeat
It's going to be good for the cyber security field.
GSSP-bot
No that's not how that will work. LLM's set the baseline for entry level programmers 10x or maybe even more when working on something. It's certainly more confusing at the beginning for newer programmers, but they will actually be able to make more complex solutions and programs over learning every low level part.
It also is a great tool to get some level of understanding in implementing solutions, or understanding the available open source solutions available to you.
@subatomicarchangel here is the catch based off chat GPT and copilot. (In both real world and bench marks....) The answers are not always valid. Programmers who don't understand what the AI wrote and why will not have an easy time figuring out these bugs.
There is an absolute need for a 2-3 year block for programmers to learn the why's for how things are done.
I am self-taught, starting from Java and C++, and it has made me better and stronger.
@@subatomicarchangel the hard part isnt the details, but not knowing the details is what makes the difference between good code/architecture and shit code/architecture.
There seems to be a trend where people that really know how to code well hype up AI because they think it'll turn them into a 10x because they can prompt into it. Such a sad display.
Love the end message.
Dude that GPT5 image at the end is gold.
Every commit every coder has pushed to GitHub has contributed to this.

fireship wakes up as soon as a new AI tool arrives to make devs obsolete
AI is going to be so much cheaper and more efficient than hiring people!
Except GPT-3 took 1,300 megawatt-hours and a gigantic server farm to train, and my brain runs on 20W.
I swear this is all 1980's hype all over again. An AI's output is worthless until a human decides it is good, making all this LLM stuff useless unless a human is in the loop. Not to mention without RLHF (massive amounts of humans basically upvoting/downvoting output) LLMs are unhinged psychopaths.
We thought we would get flying cars in the future, and we got smartphones. We think we are going to get super-intelligent AIs, but we are actually going to get smarter humans who leverage this new tool. 24/7 available tutors will help people in poverty educate themselves, it is the democratization of intelligence, not humans being replaced.
I'm still a little pessimistic, but this post lets me escape the comment doomscrolling. Thanks.
Man, one of the first reasonable comments.
Is AI hype? Your brain runs on 20¿? average wage of a good programmer in western what is it 40k-60k? Let's be real, ai is capable of doing crazy things and it's the beginning, people like you that demand ai that makes all the job perfectly, dude, it's the beginning, ai is the most important invention of 21 century. Industrial revolution was hard to believe but it happened. AI revolution is here and it will change the world as other technologies did in the past.
Naturally it will make a barrier to enter the industry even higher. Companies unfortunately never learn and it will be very tempting to remove all of the Juniors/Middles from the board and use Seniors (who understand the code very well) with productivity boosters. And in 4-5 years we will learn the hard way that Juniors are actually essential for the industry.
This is the most rasional comment I've seen among comments
Sounds good to me, less competition means higher salaries for seniors like me
@@personalbranddata such sell fish, much wow
juniors are essential at a low rate, we don't need people with 5 IQ like we've been getting for years. Not everyone is capable of performing well in a mental demanding job.
Lovely that they used your code to train it, make you aid it in training it more and calling it progress.
That is called free labour.
I think this tool will be really good at setting up new projects and automating things like adding new fields to your api's, which is exactly what programers need, which is why this is a tool we will be using for awhile.
One of the biggest problem with the popularization of AI is that even if everyone adds AI in their product, it is very likely that the most convenient way to use AI will always stay in the hands of a few big companies, thereby further ensuring centralization of our infrastructure and of wealth into these companies
yep, but it will still happen with every other emerging technology as new tech is not cheap and accessible to anyone but the rich
That’s a good point!
I think the biggest problem is hardware access. One global incident away from a monopoly on existing GPUs.
We should all be worried honestly.
Throughout history, every instance of technological advancement which resulted in wildly increased productivity came at the expense of the value of the human labor it was replacing. In every instance, from the spinning jenny to self-checkout, those with existing capital to leverage the new technology grew increasingly wealthy, while the group whose labor was being replaced suffered financial hardship.
If a single developer can suddenly build programs at four times the rate of another, the demand for developers decreases. That means less jobs and lower pay for us all.
Not to mention developers wont be the only ones affected. Marketing, sales, accounting, HR, data analysis, customer support, etc. Millions of jobs.
@@joedanlop The future of digital products and services will be a a handful of people paid by CEOs (who are controlled by investors) to run their companies for them by using AI to design, develop, test, and distribute their unhinged ideas.
For that reason we are creating a course on the fundamentals of web development. Coming soon on this channel! :)
Copilot like to add random imports to the top of files when I happen to create a variable with the same name as some exported function in some random package. Hours wasted tracking down because it produces cryptic errors that don't mention the import. So much fun. Still love the help, but when it messes up oh boy
Why are programmers trying so hard to replace programmers?? stop it!

Good to hear I have at least a few more months of my career!
I don't like to fix other people's bugs. And I guess I won't like to fix an AI's code bugs. Wasn't the plan to let AI fix the bugs?
Now to make a license that makes your code illegal to read by AI.
As long as github captain or Davin can't understand and do "build facebook", then developers are needed, wheather for entering prompts, or debugging, or just approving PR's we'll be needed
As somebody who's currently studying computer engineering. This just convinces me to sway more towards the hardware aspects of my career 😅
same but i only loved the software part. the logic and the reasoning.
Just another hyped up tool that will write buggy code and wont be able to work on big/complex codebases
If everyone is a programmer, then no one is!
