Here is an article which in its overall sight reflects my learnings and thinking about the future of software developers and their role in the future, if they’re open to adapt:
Also two important citations from the comment section:
“This is exactly the kind of nuanced take we need more of. You’re absolutely right about the supervision problem – the people who can effectively guide AI are the ones with deep coding experience, but we’re potentially training fewer of those people. The entropy point is huge too – AI-generated code can become an unmaintainable mess without proper architecture. I think we’re in this weird transition where experienced devs like yourself can leverage AI effectively, but there’s a real risk of losing that institutional knowledge over time.”
“By taking away coding (for the most part), you are telling developers to skip the fun part and focus on informal specs and communication… things that the vast majority of developers are not interested in nor are good at.”
