Beginning of automation in software development
Automation in software development dates back to the 1950s when assembly languages were created. These languages simplified machine code into more human-understandable forms, marking the beginning of reducing manual coding efforts.
The discussion about AI replacing software developers began even in the 1960s, so do not think this is a new idea. Initially, it was just speculation centered around AI’s potential to automate tasks traditionally performed by humans. This conversation became more relevant in the 1980s with the arrival of expert systems and rule-based AI, which started to automate complex tasks in the development process.
Today, AI technologies like generative AI and natural language processing have, in a way, changed the dialogue from whether AI can replace programmers to how it can augment their productivity and creativity.
