The rise of "vibe coding," a term coined by Andrej Karpathy, indicates a shift in software engineering due to generative AI tools. These tools enable less technical users to automate significant coding tasks, leading to decreased job opportunities for traditional software engineers. With job openings down by a third over five years, the focus must be on adapting to this new landscape. Experts suggest that mastering AI tools, crafting effective prompts, and maintaining clear thinking are essential for engineers to not only survive but prosper in this evolving field.
Software engineering had long seemed like a sure bet for a future-proof career. Then, vibe coding came along.
Comments like this have come as job opportunities for software engineers - a historically well-paid job - have plummeted. On Indeed, openings in the US are down a third from five years ago.
