I was reading the book "How Big Things Get Done," which is immensely applicable to the field of software engineering. The book is about how and why big projects fail. The book mentioned that IT projects were among the worst in cost and time overrun. I see essentially a win-win situation for software developers:
Either,
AI will enhance the work of software engineering on a fundamental level, helping SWE projects to be delivered (more) on time and with high(er) quality (I can't state how amazing this would be)
OR
things won't get significantly better, projects still can't reliably be delivered, software quality doesn't get better, etc. (the robots won't be taking our jobs)
It will be interesting to see which future we'll end up.
