Will AI replace software engineers? It depends on who you ask
Briefly

The emergence of AI tools like OpenAI's A-SWE is poised to transform the software engineering landscape by automating essential tasks. According to Sarah Friar from OpenAI, this AI agent can build applications, perform quality assurance, and handle documentation independently. Industry experts express mixed feelings about the implications of such technology, with some predicting that while talented engineers will thrive, less adaptable professionals may struggle. The future may shift towards teams that strategically orchestrate AI-generated code rather than do manual coding themselves.
The good software engineers will adapt, while those unable to leverage AI's potential may find themselves out of work.
Generative AI is setting new paradigms in software development, shifting the focus from mundane coding tasks to strategic orchestration.
