"AI -- and all that associated vibe stuff -- is not diminishing the importance of human coders. If anything, AI requires even more human oversight when it comes to generating and implementing software, argued Michael Li in a recent article in Harvard Business Review. Such tools make coding experience "more -- not less -- important," Li said. AI cannot replace real software engineers and coders."
"At this point, keep AI-generated development in a sandbox, Li advised. "Never give it the keys to live customer data, and routinely check for basic security mistakes like files or storage left open to the public. Keep experienced engineers in charge of the design, the rules, and the safety checks so AI's speed doesn't turn into costly failures.""
AI-assisted coding tools do not eliminate the need for skilled software engineers and increase the demand for human oversight. Coding experience becomes more important because AI can introduce subtle errors and security risks. Perceived productivity gains can be misleading, and some studies show developers may be slower when relying on AI. All AI-generated changes should be double-checked with automated checks, simple tests, and at least one human review. AI-generated development should be sandboxed, denied access to live customer data, and routinely audited for basic security mistakes while experienced engineers retain responsibility for design and safety rules.
