Can machine learning and AI make programmers obsolete? Can AI make software coding and debugging a thing of the past?

As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.

Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
