The ETERNAL promise of AI replacing programmers is basically the tech industry's biggest ghosting story! Everyone's been clutching their pearls about AI taking over coding jobs since FOREVER, but the answer is always "mañana" (tomorrow) - which is just fancy Spanish for "never gonna happen but we'll keep threatening you with it."
It's like waiting for that friend who says they're "five minutes away" but they haven't even gotten out of bed yet. The AI revolution is ALWAYS just around the corner, darling! Meanwhile, programmers are still debugging the same stack overflow errors they were fixing a decade ago. The drama! The suspense! The complete lack of actual job replacement!
