It’s funny to hear developers whine about AI-related job loss. Software typically exists to do things humans would have done manually (and been paid to do).Anyone who’s been a professional engineer long enough has effectively eliminated thousands of jobs.I don’t see a future with fewer engineers than today, but the barriers to entry and the optimal skill sets are changing. That will push some folks out, but it’ll open the door to many who just never groked code.
