Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

mRNA, once lauded as a scientific marvel, is now a government target - statnews.com

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

What is a good way to conduct an interview?

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

What do you CPAP users do to keep your mouth closed during sleep using a nasal pillow?

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
