Not “replaced by AI” but “using AI”
Routine code generation will increasingly be automated. But the work of clarifying vague requirements, making design decisions, and ensuring quality and safety only grows in importance. AI is not a replacement — it is a tool that multiplies a good engineer's productivity.
Those who keep learning win
As technologies expire faster, your “way of learning” and fundamentals (algorithms, design, security) matter more than any single framework. Those unafraid to try new tools will be the ones chosen by tomorrow's market.
Embrace the infinite — make AI your ally and expand what you can do.
