AI is changing what it means to be a software engineer
""AI has catalysed the extinction of software engineering and coding as we know it today," Kok says."
""Back then, programming was about giving very specific instructions so you could squeeze the most out of limited hardware.""
""With AI being able to produce code better than most humans, we should be ready for the next level of abstraction for software engineering.""
""Soon, the mainstream software engineering community will conclude that model-based engineering should be the primary method of building software,""
Unemployment among computer science graduates in the United States sits at 6.1%, double the rate of art history majors. AI has catalysed the extinction of traditional software engineering and coding as previously known, while not eliminating engineers but rewriting the skills and methods of the role. Programming evolved from assembly through C as abstraction and hardware improved. AI can now produce code better than most humans, prompting a shift toward model-based software engineering that emphasizes visual modelling, automation, and logic. Low-code platforms enable visual design while AI handles underlying code complexity, driving mainstream adoption of model-based methods.
