🤖 Will AI Replace Developers? The Truth
|
Hey Reader, I’m back! 🎉 I’ve been on parental leave for the past 2 months, enjoying time with the family. Now I’m diving back into videos and here’s the first one! 🎥 Watch it now: Here’s the TL;DR if you can’t click right now: AI can already write code, fix bugs, and explain complex concepts. So… are we doomed? No. AI isn’t replacing developers anytime soon. But: Developers who use AI will replace those who don’t. The best devs are using GPT to:
Here’s the secret: they stay in control. They review, question, and decide. AI writes more, but we still lead. The job is evolving:
So the real question is: Are you learning to use AI well? Because if you are, you’ll be more valuable than ever. 🎯 Go deeper: Watch the full video here for my workflow, examples, and how I use GPT in .NET development. 💡 Coming soon: I’m working on a brand new course - .NET with AI for Beginners - where I’ll show you how to use GPT to build projects from scratch. It’s not out yet, but you can join the waiting list here. Take care, Patrick P.S. Want to go deeper into real-world .NET and Blazor projects? Join me inside the .NET Web Academy. Check it out here. |

Hey friend, A developer I know built his whole career on one bet: that young developers would never want to touch old code. So the legacy systems quietly running real companies would always need someone, and he would be that someone. For twenty years it paid. Then AI arrived and went straight for the part he thought was safe. Because the hardest part of modernizing an old system was never the typing. It was the understanding. Reconstructing thirty projects and three contractors' worth of...
Hey friend, The other day I found a bug in StackBuddy, an app I built. Normally I'd open it, file a ticket for myself, and move on. Instead I turned to my AI and just said, "log a dev ticket for that." And it did. A real ticket in my own bug tracker. Title, description, priority, the whole thing. I never opened the actual app. The thing that makes that possible is called MCP, Model Context Protocol. Ignore the name for a second. Out of the box, an AI can only talk. It writes and explains, but...
Hey friend, I don't really write code by hand anymore. I describe what I want, and the AI builds it. For a while, that scared me. If I am not writing the code, does everything I spent years learning still matter? Does my stack matter at all? If you are a developer right now, I would bet you have felt some version of that too. Here is where I landed. It flipped the whole thing for me. The other day I was debugging a slow app, talking it through with the AI. Would WebAssembly help here? Is it...
