I may have fixed a coding issue in my class-woo.php using AI to generate a fix.

The error disappeared from error log. It seems like it worked but I gotta wait and see if the actual bug that was breaking the website every 24h is gone.

If it did, I understand why people are saying coders are gonna get replaced à lot.

It’s just a matter of time before this really starts hitting hard. There will always be room for some to keep their jobs but just like CNC’s did for manufacturing, job rolls will shift and change. It’ll probably turn into a much smaller number of coders overseeing the code than actually writing it. Interesting times ahead.

If AI tooling can consistently fix bugs engineers cannot, that would be a major shift.

The fact that it can help you fix bugs like an engineer without being one is already à major shift imo.
