Hard to say. I think in the short term teams can do more with fewer engineers and the latest frontier models. The days of simply translating tickets into code and not caring about much else are probably over. Technical people have to care about product, design, translating stakeholder requests into product function and perhaps move a layer up into abstraction and start caring about systems.
That’s assuming the current generation of models won’t get any better than what they can do now.
Its hard to say where things are going for us, i am certain we will have to adapt
The days of manually banging out CRUD are long gone for sure. But talking to stakeholders and helping them refine their needs, and being able to then implement their business processes is still very much a human intelligence endeavor.
Yep long gone..Half of the team mostly was just literally doing ticket work with not even an ounce extra of thinking..Just yesterday I had claude scan a code and tell me solution in 10 seconds which would have taken those ticket workers atleast 2 days. If you think of AI as a competitor then the game is already over. If you think of AI as force multiplier keep in mind that the multiplication is gonna happen at system thinker level not the coding part..that part of our career is dead say in next 1 year. I already see it dead but it takes times to propogate.
The death knell has sounded for life as we know it today. That doesn’t mean we die here. It simply means we need to define what’s next and move forward. Recognize you may be wrong but learn and pivot. GL to all.

I think it will be just like manufacturing back in the 80's and 90's. A lot of jobs will be lost, not all. Just like robotics usage with manufacturing, it will create some new (robotic programing/maintanince ect). But 7 or so out of 10 jobs, as they currently sit, will be replaced. We are not there yet, the models are not good enough.
What we think of as a Software Engineer will become what I would call a Prompt Engineer with code reviewer and debugging responsibilities.
Yeah you guys are done. Gone the days of complaining at Google that your free laundry service was taken away or that you couldn’t find a shirt with large pockets to stuff food for the entire family three times over.
No idea but if it’s over it’s been a fun ride

I’m not concerned at all. There will always need to be human oversight or humans translating wants to work that can be done. By the time I’m redundant I’m going to retire anyway
