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

You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
What would explain Trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war with Russia?
To the reader/asker:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Here’s the proof :
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
"Gasping": Scientists Make Breakthrough Toward Full Cure for HIV - futurism.com
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
I don’t think so Claudeboy.
And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
Why don't some people like the 10 Commandments?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
