I feel AI tools will just accelerate software development speed overall rather than replacing software developers them entirely. A lot of boilerplate code, how to configure X and the 80% of development side will be taken care by these AI to

Coming from web I gave serious shot to React Native for quite sometime but I learned the hard way that it can go only so far in mobile app development. There will come a point in React Native development where you have to go under the hood
