The article argues that AI will drastically transform software engineering, potentially replacing manual coding by 2026. As companies, like Gumroad, increasingly rely on AI for coding tasks, they emphasize the importance of adapting processes to incorporate AI effectively. There is a call to action for companies to facilitate employee up-skilling, addressing fear and uncertainty regarding job security among engineers. The author outlines the inherent stages of AI adoption, suggesting that engineers must evolve and embrace AI-driven methodologies to stay relevant in this changing landscape.
There, I said it. I seriously can't see a path forward where the majority of software engineers are doing artisanal hand-crafted commits by as soon as the end of 2026.
It's now critical for engineers to embrace these new tools and for companies to accelerate their employees' time to oh-fuck moment.
Start motions towards up-skilling how your employees think. There's going to be a lot of scared people out there right now within the ranks.
The people stages of AI adoption: detraction/cope/disbelief - "it's not good enough/provide me with proof that AI isn't hype".
