I think the future of coding is exciting especially given how AI and quantum computing have been evolving!
As for AI, I don't think it will ever replace devs, but instead, it's going to work as an optimization tool, especially for tedious tasks (and eventually debugging).
What challenges and opportunities do you foresee for programmers? I'm eager to hear your thoughts and insights on these topics!

I think its AI prompt coding, wrote about it last week here: https://gist.github.com/eonist/2...
With the development of no-code and AI more and more products are built by non-technical people. Soloprenership becomes quite common.
My bet is that gradually we will get rid of programmers. Instead, users who are able to create good prompts will be considered "engineers".
For example even now with our tool, it is possible to generate custom CRM, ERP, or business apps based on their descriptions. What is going to become possible in 2 years?
AI is already helping massively developers in all areas. I think that those who know how to really leverage AI will be massively ahead and the rest will be left behind.
I think it would be a more advance version of cursor.sh along with that developers will be judged based on their philosophy rather than hard skills.
AI will be similar to JARVICE assisting Tony Stark. In the Future, all the heavy lifting will be done by Tony, in this case, the programmer but with the assistance of AI.
Personally, I think AI will compile entire programs in the future. AI powered IDE's will be the next step. Definitely product idea's there haha. If anyone wants to grab one.
In the coming years, programming will see the integration of AI as a supportive tool for programmers, rather than a complete replacement. It will be a collaborative partnership between humans and AI, leading to more efficient and innovative solutions.
@ioan_ivanov Do you think there will be lesser programmers needed? Since AI is doing 70-80% of the heavy lifting
we could spend more time designing software and thinking of applications rather than writing code. Which is a good thing, as long as we are in control of producing the software.
Programmer will use display glasses and AI will suggest code using its eye tracing system.
Constantly consider innovation in the realm of new technology. However, programming is not obsolete; I believe it's continually evolving and expanding in its reach.
It's great, and is becoming interesting. I believe that AI is going to empower more creators in programming, and allow the engineering part of programming to be a lot more efficient. In my view, AI is going to have a great impact on programming, and allow engineers to finally be the Rockstars that they are.
It will be less and less focused on the details of the implementation but rather on the "orchestration" of the different pieces. I like to look at the positive aspect of this, and think that we will all be focusing more on the "what" rather than the "how"
It is dynamic and promising. Automation, AI, and cloud technologies will shape the industry.
Bro w all 'em AI startups I genuinely don't even know
like I feel like at some point my only advantage as a human programmer will be that I am able to take the vaguest request possible and make it into comprehensible code. You try getting anything out of an AI Backend dev with "Well I just need it to work when I press this random button yeah you can't see it on the screen cause it's not technically there yet cause you need to put it there. Oh where? Idk, you're the dev, you tell ME" ahahahaha AI b like 'thassit it's the Terminator time'
@mathis_vella If your building something where the innovation is mostly business innovation. Then it's great. If you're building something where the innovation is the tech product. Then you need to use a none no code stack. I do think prompt-coding is almost as effective as no-code. I see more a more none-coders with no dev experience wipp up awesome stuff with prompt-code. It's basically best of both worlds. full customisation + pre-made components at your finger tips. And this is just the start. SO in a few years I think ai prompt coding will be so advanced that you not just create technology with it but also iterate it by just describing what you want it to do. I touch on ai prompt coding here: https://shorturl.at/jwy28
I have a physics background and can say that quantum computing is currently overhyped, unfortunately. So it won't be shaping the programming landscape anytime soon. This is because currently they can't actually do anything useful or faster than a regular computer, and they won't be able to without a million qubits (we are currently at around 1,000 qubits).
