Jesus fucking Christ this forum is dog shit now.

The game is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with GFY and I don't share personal shit here. He lives in another state and does his own thing but he wanted to make one of his many games multiplayer and had to set up servers for it so he used AI.

It literally has fuck all to do with what I said in response to your dumb ass shit. And the stats on programming jobs are public and oft discussed you brain damaged fucking ape. Go build some WordPress plugins.

PS, for the 1000th time I am not a programmer but there are people here that can vouch for what I do with code and I've hired programmers going back 22 years so I'm not some uninformed goof. You have 0 imagination and no sense. GFY

Built a completely bonkers web application that takes photos of my stupid, slow dog BlackMonsters and overlays them with brutally honest quotes about their complete lack of intelligence. What started as a simple "add text to image" idea turned into a full-blown social network with user accounts, friends systems, and ranking algorithms. Because why do something simple when you can massively over-engineer it AND roast your dog with 1 million different combinations? ��

Web Programmers will simply become Web Developers.

Just as Real Estate Developers oversee or orchestrate the building of projects and not actually doing the manual labor themselves.

Of course things will change but the shrinking job market already started.

You mentioned the game, and how your brother used AI to setup servers. Cool story, I guess. :thumbsup

Tell me again why you couldn't show a demo of the game you copy/pasted in here? Nevermind ...

I honestly think you have some kind of selective reading impairment. Re-read my comments and don't pick and choose just parts of it and try to quote me jackass.

Or, go troll on these comments if it makes you feel better:

Is this "prediction" your source of all these programming jobs that are getting obliterated, or do you have something else? Maybe some traditional computer programming jobs are in decline, but software development roles remain in demand, particularly in areas like AI. Who do you think builds these tools that allow non-coders like yourself to build cool stuff?? :1orglaugh

And, go ahead and point out where I said it's ineffective or really hard? I said an average user that does not know what ftp, ssh, or telnet is probably won't bother.

As someone who can code without AI, I don't see a huge benefit or time saving tool yet. But, I haven't fully explored, so maybe with bigger projects it will help. For the record, I have already said AI can do some amazing things and is moving very quickly and I do use it for certain things.

Will some people use AI instead of a programmer, sure. But, you also keep ignoring the facts -- website builders (no coding necessary) have been available for years. Yet, people still have websites built by coders/programmers, even though they have been able to do it themselves for years. Why?

I've already talked about this shit elsewhere. My OFFLINE working friend uses AI to network commercial equipment without buying hundreds of licenses or hiring out for someone to connect different brands with no current code for that.

He also uses it to map out his entire networking setup, another job he previously hired out.

My brother put his game online with AI knowing sweet fuck all else about servers. He is not a programmer, he doesn't code them from scratch, he uses some game maker and it's 100% irrelevant to the point I made.

A family member uses AI in his cyber security job. He previously used it to help him write security software that is used by the fucking military. But hey, he did know how to mess with a server before that.

What I said way up in the start of this thread is clear. You were being silly as fuck talking about it takes you longer to write code with AI than without and that nobody will bother before you started trying to dodge that point later on. Many scripts I use are written from scratch in a minute or two from AI and even with shortcuts you aren't beating that.

I have saved well into 6 figures so far by not having to hire help. My on call programmer made $73,000 per year on an as needed basis and I now do that job 10x better for $100 a month.

So yes, you need a better promp. Guess what, you can ask AI to write one for you. :1orglaugh

We are reaching productivity overload, it can just increase to infinity. The example I always give people is that one of my businesses I have spent decades, with code, compiling hard to find data and presenting it in unique ways.

In a few more iterations AI will be smart enough for the right user to deploy a version that seeks and and deploys replacements for what I do AND and thousands of others that are similar without further input. I make 40% net, corporations are fine with 5%. Right now one person in their basement with a tweaked AI can today take over entire industries by making things more efficient and cheaper on a scale nobody here seems to care about and that's before a single prompt can spit out a "paysite" with AI models that cover any and all niches.

As more and more people look into this things will change quickly, billionaires will be made and most of us will be buried.

It sure can. Keep it up and you'll be doing more with AI than the people that should be exploiting it while the clock ticks down.

Case in point. And before you get started, go look at any of the freelance sites, they are all still business as usual. For however wonderful AI may be and for how much it can or can't save you, there will always be an end user that would prefer to have it done by a professional and/or someone else. That does not take away from the amazing potential of AI, that's just how life works. :2 cents:

An anecdote is not a "case in point" or I could post an anecdote of someone being replaced (I put several here) and say AI will take all the jobs.

Stats are a little more important.

Computer programmers—defined as those translating precisely defined specifications into code—have seen a drastic decline. According to The Washington Post, these jobs fell by 27.5% over the past two years—the lowest level since 1980.

I said:

Is the sky falling and all is lost on all the freelance sites? The case in point was merely an example reference.

Buddy, seriously, stop wasting my time. Yes, we can agree that more automated tasks (mainly done by entry level) will most likely be replaced by AI at some point. Just because you and a handful of people you know are using AI, doesn't mean that regular folk, those that don't want to learn how to use AI, regardless of how simple it may be, will jump on the band wagon. Right now, it's too early to tell, and the "stats" you are providing, are not accurate for this argument. Because ...

The article you referenced differentiates the following:

Quote:

From the washingtonpost....

"More important, when we looked at who worked in that industry, we noticed that programmers were in the minority. They’re dwarfed by, among other occupations, the software developers. The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but the jobs follow very different trajectories.

Nationwide, software developers haven’t struggled nearly as much as their programming brethren —"

"In the real world, “developer” and “programmer” can seem almost interchangeable. But in the world of government statistics, where we have legal permanent residency, there’s a clear distinction."

"In the government’s schema, programmers do the grunt work while the much more numerous — and much faster-growing — software developers enjoy a broader remit. They figure out what clients need, design solutions and work with folks such as programmers and hardware engineers to implement them."

"It’s not the first time programmers have borne the brunt of automation. For as long as the BLS has differentiated the two professions, programmers have been the black sheep, always struggling while developer jobs multiplied and multiplied again. With every innovation that made coding easier or less necessary — services to handle common tasks, offshoring, free open-source tools, servers and computing on the cloud — developers took on more of the work once left to pure programmers."
If you delve deeper into this, I'm sure other factors could be at play. Obviously, entry level jobs what I believe the article is calling "programmers" are more at risk, but there are always other factors, such as:

Economic Uncertainty: The recent tech job market crash, driven by factors like rising inflation, interest rates, and global economic uncertainty, has led companies to prioritize profitability over growth, resulting in more conservative hiring practices and a focus on cost-cutting measures.

Geographic and Demographic Disparities: The impact of automation and AI on employment is not uniform across all demographics and regions, with younger workers and those in less-skilled occupations facing higher risks of displacement.

Industry Maturation: Certain tech sectors, including social media and e-commerce, are maturing, leading to slower growth and hiring compared to their earlier periods of rapid expansion

And I'm sure there is more. Go look it up on AI, it will give you more info I'm sure.

Publisher Bucks 07-23-2025 12:31 PM

Most 'normal' folk, still do not understand AI - including those in the government (globally) and are still worried about it.

It's not going to be too long untl the powers that be step in and fuck it up for everyone... This is why getting your own private LLM setup is important if you're planning on adapting to utilizing AI long-term.

Yes, some job roles for programmers, designers, database engineers, etc are going to vanish, but AI will inevitably open up a new area of employment, such as AI prompt writers, LLM engineers, etc that will fill those lost job roles.

Adapt or die... Sadly.

I have a mate over here in the UK who lost his job about 4 months ago, he just signed up for Universal Credit (the UKs version of unemployment - but much better than US unemployment) and his work coach basically told him 'get a job in AI designing websites' eek7

And then, there's also this:

Quote:

More from the washingtonpost article you shared...

“Programmers may be more likely than software developers to have more of their job replaced by generative AI, but the sharp decline cannot be attributed to generative AI alone,” Shrivastava told us. She added that Indeed postings for tech jobs such as programmers and developers rose much faster than other job postings amid the 2022 labor market boom and thus had further to fall when the job market cooled.

AI obviously is not a direct replacement for human programmers, given the precision demanded by the profession and the chatbots’ predilection for fabrications. But in the hands of a software developer who knows the code well, the bots could pitch in on some of the grunt work.

You're on a site called GFY and jumped into a thread with the title "Basically over for web programmers". So, normally, the topic of conversation tends to stay along the lines of the thread title itself, sort of, sometimes, not always.

In any event, even though I'm not a big fan of wordpress, I provided you with a few solid tips on how to help "secure" your website, since you chose to go with wordpress. Again, wordpress is more widely used (then say joomla, drupal or some of the other cms available) so it's more susceptible and prone to attacks. There's more that you can do, but I recommend you get a programmer to help you with that --- not an AI prompt. :2 cents:

Another user offered up a site for designs and I even went through and recommended a couple clean, fast loading designs from that site. You didn't respond to any of those comments. Have you tried opening up your own thread? There's some nice peeps on this board that I'm sure would jump in and help you out with some AI generated responses. :thumbsup

TheVoy 07-23-2025 05:10 PM

Nah, all this will do is create more competition and less corporate web developers.

I never understood why developers don't just work for themselves.
