AI won&rsquo;t replace programmers—at least not anytime soon.</p> <p>For AI to truly replace programmers, one of two conditions must be met:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Accept that our codebases will eventually become completely unreadable to humans. Once no human can maintain the code, all bugs must be fixed by AI. Inevitably, the AI will encounter a bug it can&rsquo;t solve, and we&rsquo;ll need human programmers to refactor and essentially rewrite everything from scratch.</p>
