Is it still necessary to learn a or several programming languages when one is attracted by development? The resounding arrival of generative AI and its sometimes quite convincing capabilities in code is completely changing the industry.
Enough to make developers in office shudder, as they risk seeing the arrival of profiles trained very differently. Matt Garman, president of Amazon Web Services, the cloud branch of the online commerce giant, lays out, in an interview with our colleagues at Business Insider, his vision for these highly sought-after professions.
According to him, the act of coding will almost disappear in the medium term. Which does not mean, according to him, that the profession itself will soon be part of History. He thus affirms that the developers of tomorrow will have to develop other skills – namely focusing on the design itself and not the coding itself.
“Code is just sort of the language we use to talk to computers. It's not necessarily the skill that sums up the job”, he explains. And he continues: “the real skill at the heart of this profession is rather of the order : how I innovate ? How I will code something that will be interesting for my users on a daily basis ?”.

The coding step thus becomes a formality ensured by AI. Which, according to the manager “accomplish more than developers can do today”.
Unthinkable just a few years ago, generative AIs continue to profoundly change many professions. When they do not cause massive reductions in staff. From what we understand from Matt Garman's comments, anyone with access to ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral AI or any other powerful LLM to develop code from prompts will soon be able to improvise as a developer.
The concept itself, its operation or the desired design remain reserved for human operators. For the time being, it is already possible to actually do a lot of things in this area with little or no knowledge of code itself. However, in the opinion of many professionals, mastering one or more languages is always a guarantee of greater efficiency.
The arrival of future iterations of generative AI should, however, quickly lead to codes generated with fewer errors and more elegant ordering. It remains to be seen what current developers will think about it.
