Everyone can code
With the power of a calculator, everyone can calculate easily. With the power of computers, everyone can do complex computing tasks. And now, with the power of AI, everyone can code through vibe coding. But with the calculator, it doesn’t mean you become a mathematician; with the computer, it doesn’t mean you are a computer scientist; with vibe coding, it doesn’t mean you are a software engineer.
But I can see, due to AI, there are blended roles between the team members. Everyone can code, everyone can do marketing, and everyone can do administrative tasks. Then you will probably ask, “Will I be replaced?” I think due to the economic situation, manpower shrinking is likely to happen. But each team member’s role can’t simply be replaced. The reason is simple: nobody can do everything.
Organization, team, and code
There are some similarities between the Church-Tradition-Scripture and organization-team-code.
Firstly, I need to clarify that, Church teaching doesn’t change, and so Holy Scripture doesn’t change. These are the main differences compared to organization and code.
Now, let me discuss the similarities. Just as the Holy Scripture, the source code doesn’t explain itself. Because the source code is not designed to explain itself. Some of the codes may be plain and easy to read, some may not; they require more background on business logic and the intention of the authors. The main difference is that the Holy Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit, which has no errors, while source code may come with mistakes and bugs.
