How safe is a career in coding from automation?

Why would the people writing the software for this robot even do it?
Pretty safe
Safer than most

Couldn't you develop technology to learn to code and code faster than humans though?

Industrial Engineer here. You're all fucked. I'll hire 50 chinks and 30 dot heads for the price of 1 American. Imma lean hour asses all out of jobs. If I need something coded well ill slap it together myself using modules you probably made.

Then learning to direct those machines appropriately would become the new definition of programming, and so on

Those machines could become self improving

>what is machine learning
Something you still need programmers for.

Coders get replaced by automation all the time. Something you wrote for every client gets replaced by a software package or software as a service. This is automation and arguably it hits hardest to the coders because the ones who do the automation are coders themselves as well. It's intuitive to start automating your own work first.
It's not safe from automation at all. What you do is hope the automation comes in small increments so you can keep your skills up to date with the technology that constantly changes. Jobs where you learn something in school and keep doing the same thing the rest of your career are disappearing.

Feels good to be a hardware developer.

It's safer than most careers. If you want to be a bootcamp code monkey then I guess you might be in trouble in 10-15 years but if actually know your shit you are pretty safe.

For the time being, but your job will be outsourced to India

Probably not.
People always cite compilers and shit as being more efficient than humans writing Assembly, but the thing is all cases compilers use to optimize were fed to it by programmers
some psuedo-AI has already been used to design new algorithms, but we're not anywhere near automating software design as we know it for decades

So you do need us?

it seems complexity has a positive upwards trending relationship with automation
That doesn't necessarily mean that being a mindless codemonkey is the best "career" path
