š„ Wake-up call from 20 years in tech:
The biggest disruption since the dot-com crash ā but this time, itās rising exponentially.
š„² Heard from a client last week:
“We donāt need junior developers anymore. AI does it faster.”
ā”ļø Reality: While you’re reading this, an AI is writing production-ready code somewhere ā completely on its own.
š„ Whatās happening right now:
- Cursor AI: Natural language commands instantly generate clean, documented code. Legacy code is modernized automatically.
- GitHub Copilot: Real-time code suggestions and improvements.
- Amazon CodeWhisperer: Automatic testing and debugging with up to 70% less error time.
- Google Gemini Code Assist: Enterprise-level optimization in Google Cloud.
- New tools: Replit Ghostwriter, Tabnine, Codeium ā AI-assisted development is becoming increasingly diverse.
š” Paradigm shift:
Newcomers no longer ask colleagues ā they ask AI.
Onboarding takes hours instead of weeks.
ā” But caution:
AI isnāt perfect. Large projects still need human oversight.
The role of the developer is changing radically ā from coder to orchestrator.
šÆ My success formula:
- Clearly formulate requirements in natural language
- Review, optimize, and monitor AI-generated code
- Actively shape human-AI collaboration
- Use different AI models depending on the task (multi-model approach)
šØ Uncomfortable truth:
Those who stay passive will fall behind.
Those who embrace AI as a partner will shape the future.
š® My advice:
- Develop new skills: system architecture, product management, data literacy
- Embrace AI-supported learning (e.g., Pluralsight IQ)
- Think ethically
- Build a tool strategy: combine tools wisely and verify critically (āTrust but verifyā)
Software development is undergoing radical change.
The future belongs to teams that use AI creatively and responsibly.
