AI is rapidly transforming software development, but how much of the hype is true? While some claim AI writes 100% of the code, the reality is more nuanced—AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Google’s internal models assist developers, boosting productivity but not replacing them. This episode explores how AI affects coding efficiency, fact-checks claims about AI-generated code, and examines whether companies will cut jobs or simply do more with the same workforce. We also discuss the uncertain future of entry-level programmers, the role of AI in major tech companies, and what developers need to do to stay relevant in this evolving landscape. Will AI take over coding, or will it just be another powerful tool in the programmer’s arsenal? Tune in to find out!
