Last week, I decided to give ChatGPT o3-mini-high a shot to help me write some computer vision code.
I expected something useful—but what I got? Wow.
It didn’t just give me some half-baked snippet. It gave me a full, clean, readable, and actually usable piece of code. Exactly how I like it.
I plugged it in, and within minutes, I had my solution working. Since I got results way faster than expected, I kept going.
What started as a simple Python script turned into hundreds of lines of code across multiple files.
A week later? I had the foundation of a full project.
And now, I’m even considering turning it into a SaaS.
This got me thinking…
Programming is changing fast. We saw the first big shift when ChatGPT launched, and now, with tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and more, AI-powered coding is the new reality.
So, will AI replace programmers?
Not anytime soon. But what will change is what makes a great programmer.
Here’s what I see happening in 2025 and beyond: 👇
🔹 You need deep foundational knowledge – Understanding data structures, project architecture, and how everything fits together is still essential. AI can assist, but you need to make the right decisions.
🔹 You need to master a framework – Even if AI writes most of the code, you must have the confidence to debug, adapt, and optimize when things don’t work as expected.
🔹You need to get good at AI prompting & adaptability – Knowing how to work with AI tools will be just as important as knowing how to code. The best developers will be the ones who can adapt quickly—and that includes you.
Productivity is skyrocketing—and so are expectations.
What do you think? Are developers ready for this shift?
