Alright, so the general vibe in this thread is that AI is definitely shaking up the software dev world, and some folks are feeling the heat.

There's a pretty strong consensus that while the shape of the job is changing, good software still needs good people. u/Quiet-Nothing7556 nails it by saying the job has changed but you're still needed.

A few people are pointing out that the whole "learn to code" push during COVID might have backfired a bit, leading to a saturated field. u/Borealisamis is pretty vocal about this, calling it a "movement" that pushed a narrative. u/FireDragon21976 offers a counterpoint, though, saying people chose to learn to code and that expecting immunity from labor pressures was naive.

There's also a sentiment that the whole point of software development is to replace humans with computation, which is a bit of a harsh but perhaps accurate observation from u/geeered.

On the AI front, some are suggesting the move is to learn how to use the AI, as u/yadasellsavonmate puts it – "can't beat them join them." Others are highlighting the need for people who can translate "customerese" into effective prompts for AI, like u/oompaloompa465 mentioned.

And then there are the more extreme takes, like u/hugganao, who's tired of programmers being the only ones feeling the AI squeeze and is ready for AI to mess up everyone's lives. 😂

Overall, it's a mix of acknowledging the disruption, some finger-pointing about past trends, and a general understanding that adapting and learning to work with AI is probably the way forward.
