OpenAI o1 might be the final nail in coding's coffin — "If OpenAI's o1 can pass OpenAI's research engineer hiring interview for coding at a 90-100% rate, why would they continue to hire actual human engineers?"

OpenAI recently launched a series of new next-gen AI models with advanced reasoning capabilities across coding, math, and science.
Per benchmarks shared, OpenAI o1 and o1-mini are exceptionally great at coding and have passed OpenAI's research engineer hiring interview for coding at a 90-100% rate.
This raises more concern among professionals and the security of their jobs with the rapid prevalence of AI and its capabilities.
Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index report indicated that contrary to popular belief, AI creates job opportunities, but executives won't hire anyone without an AI aptitude , prompting "a 142x increase in LinkedIn members adding AI skills like Copilot and ChatGPT to their profiles."
In the recent past, coding among other creative jobs is seen as the first profession on AI's chopping block. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang predicted that coding might be dead in the water as a career for the next generation with the prevalence of AI. Instead, he recommended exploring opportunities in other areas, including biology, education, manufacturing, or farming.
"If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can't exactly predict where it is — it's possible that most developers are not coding."
OpenAI's new advanced reasoning models blow engineers out of the water
And now, it's quite possible that AI could reshape the coding landscape and claim jobs from developers — especially after OpenAI recently launched a new series of next-gen AI models (aka Strawberry) with advanced reasoning capabilities across science, math, and coding. OpenAI o1 and o1-mini are reportedly exceptionally great at writing and detecting errors in code.
"Some creative jobs maybe will go away. But maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place — you know, if the content that comes out of it is not very high quality."
