Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?

And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?

What do you think are the real reasons Matt Gaetz just withdrew his name for Attorney General in the upcoming Trump administration?

Who has experienced what they called a happy accident (bestiality)?

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

To the reader/asker:

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
