What AI will do

  • Writing boilerplate and repetitive code
  • Generating unit tests from specifications
  • Documenting existing codebases

What keeps you human

  • Defining what to build and why
  • Debugging novel, context-dependent failures
  • Translating human needs into technical systems

AI can already write functional code for well-defined problems, and that capability is accelerating. But software development is fundamentally about problem definition, not code production. Developers who master AI tooling and focus on architecture and judgment will be more valuable, not less.
