“If we go 24 months from now, or any other period of time — I can’t predict exactly — most developers are probably not coding,” Garman said during the meeting.
He claimed that because of AI, software developers will likely have to “innovate” and update their skill sets because being a developer in 2025 “may be different” than it was in 2020.
“It simply means that each of us has to become more attuned to the needs of our customers and what the actual end-thing is that we’re going to try to build, because that’s going to be more and more work than actually sitting down and writing code,” Garman said.
Coding, a part of software engineering, is a job that involves teaching computers how to complete tasks through a programming language, and can pay up to six figures a year, according to estimates from actually.
Garman wasn’t the first corporate executive to reveal the threat AI could pose to the future of software engineering. At the World Government Summit in February This year, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called AI a “miracle” in computer programming.
“For the past 10 or 15 years, everyone sitting on a stage like this has been telling you that your kids should learn computer science, and everyone should learn how to code,” Huang said at the summit. “In fact, it’s almost the opposite. Our job is to create computer technology so that no one has to code.”
