Will AI Replace Software Developers? Not Exactly.

 Will AI replace software developers? I don’t think so—but I do think it replaces a big chunk of what used to be “junior dev” work (boilerplate CRUD, basic tests, simple bugfixes), which is why the entry-level pathway feels like it’s collapsing.

I wrote a data-backed breakdown of what’s changing and what to do about it: where AI is strong (routine implementation) vs. weak (architecture, security judgment, business trade-offs).
