Artificial intelligence is a commodity, but understanding is a superpower
Briefly

Generative AI has not diminished the value of developers; rather, it highlights the importance of their skill set in leveraging professional knowledge. Understanding how to effectively integrate and utilize code within complex systems is increasingly valuable. While AI can generate code, it lacks true comprehension of project goals and the strategic vision necessary for effective software development. The need for developers' expertise, particularly in navigating ideas and implementation, is more critical as the field evolves, creating new opportunities for skilled professionals.
The heart of a developer's skill set is the ability to move between ideas, goals, and implementation in software. As it turns out, this corner of the universe is currently growing by orders of magnitude.
The cheaper professional knowledge becomes, the more precious it is to know how to wield it. Formulating and comprehending aims in the context of complex systems is key.
Generated code may be high quality, but understanding project intent, infrastructure, and overall strategy is crucial for effective software development.
AI can't deliver well-thought-out code because it doesn't understand anything; that comprehension is a purely human function.
