As AI agents accelerate coding, what is the future of software engineering? Some trends are clear, such as the Product Management Bottleneck, referring to the idea that we are more constrained by deciding what to build rather than the actual building. But many implications, like AI’s impact on the job market, how software teams will be organized, and more, are still being sorted out.
The theme of our AI Developer Conference on April 28-29 in San Francisco is The Future of Software Engineering. I look forward to speaking about this topic there, hearing from other speakers on this theme, and chatting with attendees about it. We’re shaping the future, and I hope you will join me there!
It is currently trendy in some technology and policy circles to forecast massive job losses due to AI. Even if they have not yet materialized, these losses certainly must be just over the horizon! I have a contrarian view that the AI jobpocalypse — the notion that AI will lead to massive unemployment, perhaps even rioting in the streets — won’t be nearly as bad as dire forecasts by pundits, especially pundits who are trying to paint a picture of how powerful their AI technology is.
Among professions, AI is accelerating software engineering most, given the rise of coding agents. According to a new report by Citadel Research, software engineering job postings are rising rapidly. So if software engineering is a harbinger of the impact AI will have on other professions, this expansion of software engineering jobs is encouraging.
Yes, fresh college graduates are having a hard time finding jobs. And yes, there have been layoffs that CEOs have attributed to AI, even if a large fraction of this was “AI washing,” where businesses choose to attribute layoffs to AI, even though AI has not changed their internal operations much yet. And yes, there is a subset of job roles, such as call center operator, that are more heavily impacted. Many people are feeling significant job insecurity, and I feel for everyone struggling with employment, whether or not the cause is AI-related. And many other factors, such as over-hiring during the pandemic and high interest rates, have contributed to the slowdown in the labor market, and the notion that AI is leading to unemployment is oversimplified.
In software engineering, I see a lot of exciting work ahead to adapt our workflows. It is already clear that: (i) As AI makes coding easier, a lot more people will be doing it. (ii) Writing code by hand and even reading (generated) code is not that important, because we can ask an LLM about the code and operate at a higher level than the raw syntax (although how high we can or should go is rapidly changing). (iii) There will be a lot more custom applications, because now it’s economical to write software for smaller and smaller audiences. (iv) Deciding what to build, more than the actual building, is becoming a bottleneck. (v) The cost of paying down technical debt is decreasing (since AI can refactor for you).
At the same time, there are also a lot of open questions for our profession, such as:
- In the future, what will be the key skills of a senior software engineer? And for junior levels, what should be the new Computer Science curriculum?
- If everyone can build features, what skills, strategies, or resources create competitive advantage for individuals and for businesses?
- What are the new building blocks (libraries, SDKs, etc.) of software? How do we organize coding agents to create software?
- What should a software team look like? For example, how many engineers, product managers, designers, and so on. What tooling do we need to manage their workflow?
- How do AI agents change the workflow of machine learning engineers and data scientists? For example, how can we use agents to accelerate exploring data, identifying hypotheses, and testing them?
I’m excited to explore these and other questions about the future of software engineering at AI Dev. I expect this to be an exciting event. Please join us!

@swapnakpanda Stricter laws are needed for the cleaning to happen.

HR: How did you apply sick leave when you fall sick? Apply it only when you are dying.
Happens in India only. Can it ever be cleaned?

The "System Restart"
As the Sun hits 0 degree longitude and enters Mesha (Aries), Bharat synchronizes its pulse.
Our ancestors built a "Sidereal" operating system-syncing life to the fixed stars, not just shifting seasons.
Across the map, the "Source Code" remains the same, but the UI is beautifully diverse:
• Odisha: #PanaSankranti (Hydrating with Bela Pana)
• Punjab: #Vaisakhi (Harvesting the winter toil)
• Kerala: #Vishu (First sight of gold & grain)
• Tamil Nadu: #Puthandu (A fresh start)
• Assam: #BohagBihu (Celebrating the rhythm of nature)
From the Bela Pana of Odisha to the Vishu Kani of Kerala and the Bhangra of Punjab-Bharat is a civilization synced to the stars. 🇮🇳✨

I took a day off today.
Not feeling well.
Neck pain. Shoulder pain.
😞

Insecure people struggle to have a growth mindset as every new information or knowledge that crushes their beliefs often feels like a personal attack to them.

In simple terms: Arvind Kejriwal (Delhi's Chief Minister) and others filed a request in Delhi High Court asking Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma to step aside from their case. They claim she might be biased.
"Recusal" means a judge removes themselves to avoid any appearance of unfairness.
The judge said this is the first time anyone's asked her to do this in her career. She learned a lot about the rules for it, reserved her decision (meaning she'll rule soon), and hopes her judgment will be fair.
English
“I learnt a lot about recusal jurisprudence. For the first time in my life someone has asked me to recuse. I learnt a lot. I hope I will give a good judgment,” Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma says while reserving verdict in recusal applications filed by Arvind Kejriwal and others.

निश्चित रूप से यह ऐतिहासिक क्षण है और बेहद दुखद भी ।
Mr Sharma@sharma_views
ARVIND KEJRIWAL HAS COMPLETELY NAILED IT 🔥 KEJRIWAL: Your honour attended RSS events 4 times. It’s BJP’s ideological arm. I sense bias. JUDGE: You mean I follow BJP ideology? KEJRIWAL 🎯: You may be sympathetic JUDGE: What is your argument? KEJRIWAL 🔥: When I stand for the opposite ideology… I have a genuine question in my mind, will I get justice?
