In coding the ambiguity is very, very limited and constrained compared to any non dev job that involves any decision making

That's.. not even close to being the case. It's literally a series of ambiguous questions and strategic decisions.

Non-ambiguous is like a first semester algorithms class in university.

  • There seems to be a category of "coder" which fits the other commenter's description, where someone else makes all the significant decisions and they just write the code. Not coincidentally, that category seems most at risk from AI, because they're basically like a human version of a coding agent.
