    How much longer until the bots are capable of knowing the code better than the developers.

      Too hard to guess until we reach the stage where the bots know anything at all instead of just regurgitating text based on statistics.

      Knowing it (well, appearing to, by regurgitating the average) better than many developers, pretty soon. A huge number of us know disturbingly little about how computers actually work. (Edit: Sorry, I’m being needlessly unkind to a bunch of us, since as Snoogums said, the current stuff doesn’t actually know anything at all, yet.)

      Knowing it better than top developers is a science fiction fantasy singularity daydream.

      And even Heinlein’s and Asimov’s post singularity fiction novels acknowledged that there would likely be roles for expert humans.
