A lot of my friends wonder about the future of developers as AI starts coding extensively.
In today’s world, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a powerful force. It’s making its way into every industry especially in IT development. There was a time when learning programming languages like Java, C#, or Python and becoming an application developer was a prestigious path. But now we’re at a turning point, and it’s time to ask some difficult questions.
Today, with AI-powered coding tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT, entire applications—from small scripts to enterprise-level systems—can be generated through a single prompt. Things we once spent days or weeks building are now being generated in minutes.
The pressing question is: What role will traditional developers play in the future?
Take a simple example:When we started computer engineering, printing “Hello World” felt like an achievement. Today, an entire web application can be built with just a prompt. In such a world, where do we— and the next generation of aspiring developers—fit in?
Yes, AI can generate code that is fast and efficient. But it still lacks creativity, contextual problem-solving, and system-level thinking. It’s not about writing code anymore; it’s about designing systems and making decisions AI cannot make alone. That means we need to shift our focus now
To stay relevant, developers must learn to work with AI, not fear it.
Skills like Design Thinking, System Architecture, and AI Prompt Engineering will define the future. We need to move beyond writing code, and start guiding AI to write better code
In the end, the question isn’t, “Will AI take our jobs?
The real answer is: Yes—if we don’t evolve.
But if we embrace this change, if we adapt and learn to lead with AI, our future will not just survive—it will thrive.
