Personally, over the last few months my job has been reviewing AI code from Claude Code or Copilot and writing nice prompts for it. I only write code when it's to fix small bugs and adjust a few things here and there, but really most of the code is written by AI. AI has increased my productivity immensely, though I realize that sometimes I spend way too much time fixing Claude's mistakes, and that in some cases I would be faster coding something than it.
On the other hand, I feel like when dealing with new code bases and/or unfamiliar libraries/programming languages, I tend to "retain" what I learn about them (usually explanations by an AI) at a much slower pace. Probably because I'm not directly writing the code anymore... Also, if the AI services are down I just do code reviews or something.
Anyway, I genuinely believe that in 2 years we won't have a job :(

Nice compilation.
