Why programmers are embracing AI despite coding disruption
Software development is seen as one of the areas most rapidly reshaped by AI. Freelance journalist Clive Thompson interviewed more than 70 developers and found many view AI-driven coding automation positively, despite concerns in other fields about job displacement. He says AI tends to take over repetitive, time-consuming coding, allowing developers to focus on higher-value work. The shift also changes roles toward architecture and oversight, while productivity gains differ between startups and mature firms.
