Quoting Carson Gross
Carson Gross argues programming remains valuable because complexity control is irreplaceable by AI
“I have a hard time imagining a future where knowing how to solve problems with computers and how to control the complexity of those solutions is less valuable than it is today, so I think it will continue to be a viable career even with the advent of AI tools.”
htmx creator Carson Gross argues that programming's core value lies in problem-solving and complexity control, neither of which AI diminishes. He frames these as durable skills that keep software development viable as a career. The perspective is a measured counterpoint to AI-replaces-programmers narratives, but offers no new evidence or data.
