Why tomorrow’s best devs won’t just code — they’ll curate, coordinate and command AI


AI coding requires a serious structural change. Where does that leave entry-level developers and the software industry as a whole?

Tasks that used to be the bread and butter for junior developers — such as repetitive scripting, HTML layout or simple DevOps setups — are now being reliably handled by AI assistants like ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer. For decades, software engineering as a field had a fairly predictable pathway: Begin with the basics, build some landing pages, write test cases, troubleshoot minor bugs. In terms of efficiency, there is a lot to celebrate about this change — reduced communication time, faster results and higher bars for what one person can realistically accomplish.
