AI is shrinking the world. And that will affect everyone. When I was leaving university almost thirty years ago, the talk was all about being “computer literate’. In 2026, the talk is about being ‘AI-literate’. Software engineering may just be dead as a mass profession. You’ll probably need a higher degree of specialization and expertise to be a software engineer these days.
