This has made it even more important to use good coding practices, architecture, planning, alignment with business need, feature planning, testing, security, documentation, instrumentation, and other good coding principles. It feels like AI is forcing us "up the chain" from coders towards architects, planners, business analysts, security consultants, and other related skill sets. IMHO it feels good to move "upwards" from deep coding, although I realize that holds its own kind of challenge which many appreciate. However, I think AI will be doing most coding going forward, and I embrace the higher levels of the application development stack.</p> ai career programming softwareengineering
