Exactly why devs are getting the bug bucks

that is right now at some point what if someone figures out a way to make it deterministic and able to write code without bugs?

Then the programming language becomes natural language and you’ll have to be very good at describing what you want. Unless you are talking about AGI, aka, the singularity. Which is a whole other topic.

not AGI at that point all human jobs can be replaced that's my personal bar at least

i'm thinking like models get small enough, you fine tune them on your code, you add fuzzing, rewriting

it may not be bug free but could it become self healing with minimal / known natural language locations? or instead of x engineers one feeds the skeleton to chatgpt 20 or something and instead of giving you the result immediately it does it iteratively would still be cheaper than x devs

You cannot write code without bugs.

I‘d say, you cannot write _interesting_ code without bugs.

You know what

One man's bug is another man's feature

Sure. And some of those people are black hats ;)

modern freedom fighters Abe Lincoln couldn't compare :)
