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.

I can see software engineering becoming software QA or something.

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

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

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

As a QA guy, I tend to agree with you. I used to have to fight with devs/dev teams to not build raggedy code. Now I do the same things with AI agents. I've always thought QA would be the last IT guy standing. We'll see...
