The primary function of a Software Engineer is not just writing the code. Our primary function CANNOT be replaced by "AI" code generators (if it could, we wouldn't have needed all the Agile/ProjectManagement overhead for all these decades).

I said what I said.

The video I mentioned at 5:49 about how software is getting worse (and explaining the graph towards the end of this video) is here:
Software is bad, and it's been getting worse. But it's still worth doing.

NOTE: (Not that anyone will read this, but) When this video uses the term "AI." it (like most of the current discourse these days) means current and near future "Generative AI" a.k.a. Large Language Models. If you're thinking about the Agents from the Matrix or the Robots from Terminator, that's DIFFERENT. That's the OTHER AI, the Human-Intelligence General AI, Sometimes called "AGI." That DOES NOT EXIST. For the time being it's PURE FICTION. It may get here soon, although I (and a lot of people smarter than me) seriously doubt it, but we'll see.
