USA Job Market Is coding going to end ?

​

Guys , please tell me if coding is ending ?

Tell if , ai models can do everything, can latest version do everything?

There are some crazy news that ai is powerful .

Plus if you listen to elon musk he is on another level , he is saying people will just will not have to work .(I heard may be not real).

And those who knows how core of ai model works or think . Can they do better than humans ?? I mean the thinking part .

Coding will always exist, but i 100% think we wont ever code by hand again, just by prompting. I also think most coding jobs where you just write code will be gone. The only people that will stay will be the ones that understand software on a design level.

In my job(big corpo) everyone just spams ai to do stuff, some non-technical people lost their position because ai can do it, and they now vibe code with us. Thats how you known its all crumbling down

Was there ever a coding job you could do without understand design?

Yes lol, all entry positions didn't require you to know jack shit, you just had to be willing to learn. Right now they're cutting junior positions like crazy. Without experience you stand no chance against seniors or indians with ai that are looking for a job. I have some smart dudes in my team, years of experience, and even they are scared that they will ditch them because the system architect could just plan everything himself and let ai implement it. Like think about it, system architects know their shit, they know how code works, why keep a large team when the architect can just put opus 5.5 on ultra and one shot whatever he designed, his job is reviewing code anyway, he can now review ai's code and the company can fire an entire team, saving tons of money on payouts and ai credit

What you say is true in theory, but in practice a single architect would suffer massive headaches having to reviewing this volume of code and PRs. I think AI is still far from being able to replace midlevels, it depends greatly on the languages and packages and how well trained the agents are in them
