Ask HN: What will AI coding look like when today's CS freshmen graduate?

2 pointsby linzhangrunil y a 22 jours1 comments

ChatGPT 3.5 only came out about three and a half years ago. Claude Code was released in February 2025. In one academic year, LLMs went from barely handling high school math to disproving unit-distance conjecture.

Every two months we seems to have a new SOTA now. What do you expect AI coding to look like four years from now?

Will it be like Go after AlphaGo, where even Ke Jie could only say "they no longer knew what they were fighting against"? Or will it just be like today, just stronger, with humans still driving the work and AI as a powerful assistant?

If there are no incentives to be good at coding, almost no student would be good at coding unless they are picking it up as a hobby. Do collage tests coding proficiency? I doubt.
