Soon machines will steal all the copy-pasting from Stackoverflow jobs.

But really, this is super impressive for ML. It's not software development, though. It's analyzing a corpus and performing a search.

The nasty bit is that if that is all it takes to do most software dev jobs, and hey, we might find that most software dev really is just pattern matching and regurgitating those patterns—as the project gets more complex, the specifications will have to be more complex and we'll end up mostly back where we started.
