It’s great that the typing part is being reduced - as is looking up APIs and debugging stupid issues that wreck your estimates by wasting your work-day! You are still in charge and you still need to read the code, understand it, make sure it’s factored properly, make sure there’s nothing extraneous.. But ultimately it’s when you demo the thing you built (with or without AI help) and when a real human gets it in their hands, that the real reward begins. In the future that’s coming, non-engineers will be more and more able to make their own software and iterate it based on their own domain expertise, no formally educated software engineers in sight. This will be outrage fuel for old-mindset software engineers to take to their blogs and shake their metaphorical walking-sticks at the young upstarts. Meanwhile those who move with the times will find joy in helping non-engineer domain experts to get started, and find joy once again in helping their non-engineer compatriots solve the tricky stuff. Mark my words, move with the times people. It’s happening with or without you.
