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):
To the reader/asker:
Here’s the proof :
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
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):
And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
What made you recently say to yourself, “Wait. Really?”
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
Just sitting at home with this huge cock. Who can take care of it for me?
Agent, are you sure???? You’re lying again, aren’t you?
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
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:

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Elon Musk Says XAI Will Retrain Grok: 'Far Too Much Garbage' - Business Insider
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
