When I see people trying to define which programmers will enjoy continued success as AI continues to improve, I often see One True Scotsman used.
I wish more would try to describe what the differentiating skills and circumstances are instead of just saying that real programmers should still be in demand.

I think maybe raw talent is more important than how much you "genuinely love coding" (https://x.com/AdamRackis/status/1888965636833083416) or how much of a real programmer you are. This essay captures raw talent pretty well IMO: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/07/25/hitting-the-high-n...
