基于这个观点,我开始重新考虑 AI 对程序员行业的影响,然后我发现,AI 对我们,尤其是对于初级技术岗位应聘者的影响,远比很多人想象的大得多,甚至可以说,在没有其他因素影响的情况下,随着 AI 的发展,可能会导致初级技术岗位完全消失,靠吃程序员这碗饭逆天改命的阶级跃升通道可能会完全消失。
逻辑推导:为什么会得出这样的结论
我觉得 AI 对广义上的软件行业(包括互联网行业)造成的影响要分两部分看待:需求端影响和供给端影响。
需求端影响可能是大部分人都能想到的问题,即因为 AI 可以胜任大部分初级技术工作,AI “赋能”现有员工带来的生产力提升远超招招聘一个新人带来的边际效益,因此企业倾向于缩减初级岗位规模,导致初级技术岗位需求减少。
但是我想说的是,AI 不断进化给供给端(也就是学生,无论是来自社会还是来自大学)带来的影响恐怕更加严重,而且带来的影响可能是非常长远的,这是因为:AI 正在破坏传统式“稳扎稳打”的技术学习路径,强迫使用者产生路径依赖,进而逼迫其采用一种短视频式的碎片化学习方式进行学习,甚至不学习,而这种学习方式造就的所谓技术人员实际上在技术能力上完全被机器替代,成为 AI 的奴隶,而非其使用者
但是,即便如此,我还是要说,无论是初级学习者还是资深程序员,我们都一定要警惕这样的趋势,保住自己的核心优势,这并不是说要完全放弃使用 AI(否则就和因噎废食没什么区别了),而是说要懂得 AI 的边界和了解自身的核心能力。使用 AI,而不是被 AI 使用,保持好奇心,不断提升自己的核心竞争力。只有这样,才能在不断的技术迭代和大时代下保住自己的饭碗,不被淘汰。
