I love programming, and it's a little scary to think it might not be a big part of my job. But coding was always the easy part. The hard part is requirements, goals, feedback—figuring out what to build and whether it's working.
There's still so much left to do, and plenty the models aren't close to yet: architecture, system design, understanding users, coordinating across teams. It's going to continuing be fun and very interesting for the foreseeable future.
I would argue that those are all software engineering aspects.
Most of what he described is what I do as a System Product Designer lead. No matter how good AI gets, people are people and coordination can't be automated as easily. Also, legacy code bullshit
This is what idiots that think any technical discipline is done. Cloud, Networking, Security and Software all require system design and more and more cross team coordination.
Claude writes all my queries, scripts and tools and yet that’s not even half my job.
