For those early in your careers, do you imagine AI tools, short of full AGI, won't completely take over the human element of coding? I think coding might still exist in 5 years, but I definitely foresee a future where AI has significant impact on this profession. Specifically, I'd guess that at some point, whether it's 5 years, 10 years, whatever, we'll see a measurable reduction in the number of coding jobs, especially the entry level / lower skilled positions. My guess is that some more senior / skilled people, and people with highly specialized skills, domain knowledge, etc. will be safe a little while longer. But if nothing else, I think competition for the remaining coding jobs will become more intense. This analysis is, of course, ignoring the other side of the equation, which is "what new jobs will be created in turn by the advent of these AI platforms"? If you do believe this, are you preparing your life/career with that expectation? Well, AI was already something I was interested in / focused on, but now I'm really leaning in to specializing in AI. I'm thinking about the old(?) saying "It won't be AI that takes your job, it will be a human using AI." If you buy that, I want to position myself to be the "human using AI" that stays employed. Also in line with my theory that things are going to become more competitive, I'm starting to work on pursuing a Masters degree, and pursuing a few other specific "things" to add to my repertoire.
