I have been coding for 22 years, never thought of myself as programmer, programming for me is like literacy, it's like calling yourself a 'reader' because you can read.
Programming is a first order thinking, a way to deconstruct and construct things, sometimes you have to use it on a computer, sometimes you have to use it while baking bread, or while woodworking.
AI will help me so much, I am super excited, and now I use it every day, I plugged in whisper+chatgpt[1] to my emacs and now it is more and more like a partner, it is of course still stupid, but it will get better, and soon (with the recent llama work people are doing) I hope we will be able to finetune it.
We are doing lists and tables and data transformations and input validation for 60 years now, we built gazillion specialised spreadsheet clones.. I think now we can start building some new things, some really "soft" software, where the users can program it with language.
This is the first time I feel the computer is helping me do something, and its not me "fighting" with it.

i am sad to say that lists and tables are totally unsolved problems, look how many issues there are in react's virtualized list[1] (just an example, not picking on react)
but i think we are talking about the same thing :) programming is creative, and for me it is art, i love it.
