THE DEATH OF THE SOFTWARE ENGINEER BY A THOUSAND PROMPTS
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
AI will not achieve true AGI but will become a powerful copilot that allows less skilled "AI prompters" to generate code. This will reduce the need for traditional software engineers, as companies will favor cheaper AI-assisted development. To survive, engineers must either become expert architects/system designers or develop strong leadership and management skills to oversee AI-driven development teams.
