Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can A...

To the reader/asker:

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):

Here’s the proof :

Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?
