Had an email exchange with a solo developer who builds nothing with AI — his app is beautiful. Made me think about where craft behind building software goes, not whether it survives the changes that AI is bringing.
I think there will always be people interested in the craft. Look at photography, there's loads of digital cameras that are technically better than any old 35mm film, but people still to that for the love of the craft.
Some developers will do the same. To each their own.
