How about developers future?

Hello everyone,
Recently, AI has made much more progress than ever before.
For example, AI tools such as ChatGPT and Cursor can now help developers build high-quality software much faster. Because of this, the role of junior developers may change significantly in the future, and some entry-level programming tasks may become less common.
As a result, some people may need to develop new skills or even consider different career paths. However, I believe experienced developers who can solve complex problems, design systems, and work effectively with AI will continue to be in demand.
This is just my opinion. What do you think?
Thank you!

I agree, but I think the role of developers will evolve rather than disappear.

In the future, developers will become more like AI orchestrators. Their main job will be to understand client requirements, design solutions, use AI to generate most of the code, review the output, fix issues, and make sure everything works correctly. Instead of spending most of their time writing code, they'll focus more on problem-solving, system design, and making the right technical decisions while AI handles much of the implementation.

Of course, strong programming knowledge will still be important because developers need to know when AI is wrong and how to improve its output.
