If anything software engineering as a skill could get more rare, so when the project hits slopocalypse you may need these experts to come in to refactor things.

yes you can build wrong things. just because you get handed a magic wand that can build structures out of anything doesn’t mean you can just build a skyscraper out of shit and sticks and call yourself an engineer. sure you can have your monstrosity for your own use, but when y Show more

now you're back into thinking vibecoding will produce low quality software?

2020: Engineers write code 2026: AI writes code 2030: Engineers fix AI code

Software engineers who know how to code may be like COBOL programmers of today

It’s like cobol programmers in 1999

I can see it now. SQAE of 2030: "First, we need to delete all this crap." The later in the process QA is introduced, the more expensive a project becomes.

software engineering will become *harder*. code is easy so engineering discipline matters more. know the lanugage specs, know the corner cases, know your domain. know how to speak 1-1 with real people in your domain practice will be necessary to keep your skills sharp
