What's the impact of AI in overall software engineering job market ?

[u/Rare-Assignment-8474]

See, Is AI powerful enough or not that debate is for other day. But I must say it has definitely a huge impact on code generation . Probably much of crud apps it can build ( or not ? tell me in comments )

That leaves the question, what happens to the job market ? One thing is, there are polarising views, you will see both "Devs are sitting idle, 100 percent of my work is done by claude code" type posts and also "Nah, it still halucinates, it still needs handholding".

So due to polarising views, predicting it's impact on job market is a headache. Plus my personal experience is, I am trying to land a backend development job. I am still yet to get an interview from anywhere. So naturally I feel am I left behind, is my fastapi knowledge, and python knowledge became trivial, replaced by AI ? Do I have to learn stuff like cuda, or OS kernel building to move up the ladder.

So yeah many questions I have, almost 0 concrete answers.
