The Bookworms' Burrow
I've been harnessing the power of AI tools in my day-to-day work as a developer, and the results have been astounding. Some of the tasks I've offloaded to AI include:
The list goes on, but the bottom line is this: what used to take me a day or two can now be accomplished in mere minutes. The productivity boost is undeniable.
Of course, AI isn't a silver bullet. It can't magically decipher who's responsible for a failing API endpoint or eliminate the headache of end-to-end testing (though we can dream, right?). However, for tasks that were once time-consuming roadblocks, AI has become an invaluable ally.
Let's consider the implications. If AI consistently boosts developer output by 20%, the same workload that previously required 100 developers could now be handled by 80. This could lead to two scenarios: either a reduction in the demand for developers or significant downward pressure on wages.
The impact of AI on the professional translation market offers a sobering parallel. Surveys show that a significant percentage of translators have already experienced reduced rates and income due to machine translation.
