> AI will absolutely change the way software engineering is accomplished. We already use things like Cloud Formation templates to auto-build and scale cloud-based architectures. We have code generators to build microservices. We even have modeling techniques to simplify complex systems.

Are you sure? Imagine someone saying the same thing about compilers: "Before we employed 20 programmers to write machine code but now we can employ 5 C programmers because C is so much more productive". Of course the opposite happened. Compilers increased the demand for programmers.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoWas it compilers alone? Or a complex mix of factors as software has eaten the world?
- abracadaniel 4y agoThe improvements in efficiency for programming also occurred at the same time as it was undergoing explosive growth across every industry. How much room for growth is left is anybody’s guess.
