Beginner programmers at Amazon lose opportunities for career growth
Artificial intelligence did not replace programmers at Amazon, but radically transformed the nature of their work. And this causes many of them anxiety, bad thoughts and apathy towards work in the company. According to company engineers, software development has begun to resemble warehouse work. Only instead of moving boxes they now “drag features”. This reflects deep changes in the profession that Amazon employees report.
Development teams have shrunk, but the volume of tasks remained the same. Functionality that previously took weeks to create now needs to be implemented in a matter of days. Although using artificial intelligence is formally not mandatory, in fact it is impossible to meet the new compressed deadlines without it.
The current situation creates a particularly acute problem for beginner programmers at Amazon. Artificial intelligence takes away routine tasks – writing tests, debugging, iterative code improvement. Exactly those aspects of work through which professional development traditionally occurred. As a result, beginner programmers find it harder to grow and advance up the career ladder. And it turns out, similar to how the industrial revolution turned craft workshops into assembly lines, artificial intelligence turns programming from a creative process into a set of uniform operations. For checking and refining generated code.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.
Paradise for introverts: AI will talk to company employeesGoogle released a new feature and now artificial intelligence can call local companies on your behalf. To find out information about prices and service availability. You no longer need to pick up the phone yourself and talk to employees. This is exactly what an introvert's paradise looks like.
OpenAI combined ChatGPT, Deep Research and Operator in one agentOpenAI company introduced ChatGPT Agent. A powerful combination of ChatGPT, Deep Research and Operator in a unified solution. The working principle is maximally simple. You set a goal, for example, send emails, create tables, buy tickets or book hotels. ChatGPT Agent independently breaks this goal into separate tasks, navigates to needed websites, searches for information and fills forms. Before critically important actions such as payment, publication or sending, the agent necessarily requests your confirmation.
Only 1 programmer in the world could beat OpenAI's AIImagine a world where artificial intelligence competes with the best programmers on the planet. Such a confrontation took place at the prestigious AtCoder World Tour Finals tournament. This is one of the most elite programming competitions in the world, where it's extremely difficult to get in.
