AI is helping developers finish tasks quicker
Thanks to tools like GitHub Copilot, developers are finishing tasks way faster (over 55% quicker in Microsoft tests).
As AI handles more of the basic stuff, organizations like Code.org are shifting focus from memorizing code to teaching logical thinking.
As Code.org's founder put it: "Coding is dead. Long live coding."
Even with all these advances, AI isn't perfect: big language models struggle with new or complex problems and system design.
Junior developers get a boost from these tools, but experienced engineers are still needed for oversight and solving tough challenges.
