I disagree—'human coders' is a broad and overly general term. Sure, Antirez might believe he's better than AI when it comes to coding Redis internals , but across the broader programming landscape—spanning hundreds of languages, paradigms, and techniques—I'm confident AI has the upper hand.

Do you want to measure antirez and AI on a spider diagram, generally used to evaluate employee? Are you ignoring why society opted for division of work and specialization?

They are not investing billions on it so a high schooler can do his term paper on it, is is already much more than a generalist. It might be like a very good sidekick for now, but that is not the plan.

What does the number of buzzwords and frameworks on a resume matter? Engineering is so much more than that it’s not even worth mentioning. You’re comparison is on the easiest aspect of what we do.

Unless you’re a web dev. Then youre right and will be replaced soon enough. Guess why.

Not everyone builds Redis at home/work. So you do the math. And now Antirez himself is feeding the beast by himself.
