So, I was just at the Microsoft Power Platform conference in Vegas last week for work and while there was still obviously a TON of Copilot push, there was also a subtle tone running through the keynotes and panels lead by Microsoft where they kept saying “Pro code isn’t going anywhere” and “People will always be a necessary step in any process”. I get the impression Microsoft is panicking a bit about companies adopting their previous stance on AI too hard and promptly imploding. At least that’s what I tell myself to sleep at night now.
That feels obvious to me, and has for quite some time. The fact the hype machine has been saying the opposite for over two years has kept me second guessing my gut intuition, and yet I kept coming back to this us good and useful in some scenarios, but it will take a lot of big jumps to replace people becsuse coding was never the hard part.
