Will AI Replace Software Engineers?

Short answer: no — but roles will shift. AI is accelerating code generation and review, yet product sense, architecture, and ownership remain distinctly human. The best engineers will increasingly orchestrate systems, validate outcomes, and translate ambiguous goals into shipped value.

Key takeaways

  • Invest in fundamentals: architecture, performance, accessibility.
  • Close the loop with tests, telemetry, and code reviews.
