Generative AI won’t render coding dead in the water, but 80% of software engineers must upskill by 2027 to keep up with the revolution: “Building AI-empowered software will demand a new breed of a software professional, the AI engineer”
Looking ahead, the role of a coder in the next generation might significantly evolve due to the increasing influence of generative AI. As suggested by Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman, it’s plausible that in about 24 months or so, many developers may not be writing code as we know it today. Instead, they could focus more on designing and managing AI systems that generate their own code, streamlining the development process.
