From Glory to Decline: How Artificial Intelligence Approaches the Throne of Programming to Announce the End of a Beautiful Era

Evil Devil - Oct 28 - - Dev Community

Message to programmers. I remind them that their reliance has become less and that the end is near, and the clouds are gathering, and the rain is coming while we are exposed, and the cold is bitter and deadly. The most important question is, 'Who will survive to wrestle with the death that will inevitably take them more?' There is what I call the trinity, which is now happening in the field of artificial intelligence. We may not have finished with compilers or helper tools, but it's time for the third and final phase to be clearer. If we look back, we find that technology often comes to replace humans and change the shape of industries forever. In this broad perspective, we will see how artificial intelligence has evolved today to have the same impact, as it is expected to transform the programming profession from a human-centric role to a self-evolving technical system. Here are some historical and technical examples that illustrate and confirm this idea.

The Industrial Revolution: The shift from artisans to machines In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the world witnessed a radical transformation with the onset of the Industrial Revolution. This shift was catastrophic for many workers who performed complex manual tasks, such as weaving, knitting, and clothing manufacturing. With the development of machines like the steam engine and spinning and weaving machines, it became possible to produce clothing and other products faster and at a lower cost. As a result, large numbers of artisans and workers lost their jobs.
Conclusion: Programming may face a similar fate; algorithms and intelligent systems are replacing many processes that currently require human intervention, turning programmers into new victims of technological transformation.

The Telegraph: The end of the 'messenger' profession Before the invention of the telegraph in the 19th century, messages were sent by people on horseback or on ships, taking weeks or months to reach their destinations. 'Messengers' played a crucial role in communication between cities and countries. However, with the invention of the telegraph, it became possible to send messages within minutes, diminishing the role of messengers and significantly impacting their jobs.
Conclusion: Here we see how technology was able to reduce the need for humans in communications, just as artificial intelligence today threatens to eliminate the need for programmers in the long term. With tools capable of writing and updating code more efficiently, traditional programmers could become a part of the past.

Digital Cameras: The impact on the traditional photography industry In the mid-20th century, photography was entirely dependent on film and its development. This required knowledge and experience from photographers and skills in the developing process itself. But with the invention of digital cameras, photography became easier and less expensive, leading to a significant decline in the demand for film cameras and professionals in this field.
Conclusion: Programming has also begun to benefit from technological improvements in artificial intelligence, as writing code has become easier and less complex. There may come a day when programming is a fully automated process managed at the touch of a button, without the need for professional programmers.

Agriculture: The shift from traditional farming to agricultural automation In the past, agriculture required a large workforce, as people relied on physical strength and manual tools to harvest and plant crops. But with the development of tractors and modern agricultural machines, it became possible to plant and harvest vast quantities of crops with limited human effort. This shift led to a significant decrease in the number of agricultural workers who were primarily relied upon in the past.
Conclusion: Artificial intelligence represents the modern 'tractor of programming,' performing tasks that previously required numerous expert programmers. In the future, it may become normal for most programming work to be managed by these intelligent systems.

Print Journalism: The shift to digital media Before the internet, print journalism was considered the primary source of news and information. But with the rise of digital media, people began to receive news as it happened, significantly impacting the print journalism industry. This digital shift reduced the need for traditional journalists and editors, as news articles began to be published online without the need for paper printing.
Conclusion: Programming is also starting to be affected in the same way, as artificial intelligence has become capable of generating and analyzing code and providing instant solutions to problems. There may come a day when the need for traditional coding completely disappears, as intelligent systems take over these tasks.

Automation in the financial services sector: The decline of the role of 'financial intermediaries' In recent decades, financial intermediaries played a vital role in financial markets, analyzing financial data and providing investment advice. But with advances in computing and data analysis technology, it has become possible to replace these intermediaries with computer programs performing the same tasks quickly and accurately. Many investments are now managed by automatic trading algorithms that excel over humans in analysis and response speed.
Conclusion: Programming may find itself in a similar position, as intelligent systems develop, test, and even update code, which could gradually reduce the need for programmers to a marginal level.

Overall Conclusion: The End of Programmers - Between Technological Inevitability and Factors of Extinction

The question is not 'whether artificial intelligence will replace programmers' but 'when' this will happen. If we know from history that any industry or profession heavily reliant on repetitive knowledge or learnable skills becomes susceptible to extinction, it makes sense to expect programming to be under the same threat.

In today's era, artificial intelligence is growing at a very rapid pace and has the capability for automatic learning that increases its independence and enhances its ability to perform complex tasks that previously required human intervention. Traditional programmers may become, like previous artisans, a part of the memory of a technological past, replaced by artificial intelligence that handles the complexities of the digital world on its own.
