No one wants to lose a job they've poured years of their life into.

Software engineering is tough, and it's even tougher to acquire all the necessary skills to get your foot in the door. I'm talking about years and years of commitment.

There has been a little scare with Chat-GPT and other AI models being able to generate code on the fly.

Although impressive. I would NOT be worried.

I'll share my experience working as a Software Engineer in a world with and without Chat-GPT

Just to make things clear, working as a developer with Chat-GPT has been amazing, and I encourage more developers to utilize it if they haven't already.

THREE reasons why AI will boost up Software Engineer roles.

• 💡 New types of opportunities

• ⏩ Productivity

• 🤝 No code tools and AI demystifies complexity, showcasing our true value

💡 New types of opportunities

AI is revolutionizing the software game. New tech opens doors to fresh, exciting opportunities and challenges.

It's like breathing new life into your journey, offering you a chance to explore uncharted territories.

It only took Chat-GPT 2 months to reach 100 million users🤯

To put this in perspective, Twitter, Facebook, and even Youtube all took several months to reach 50 MILL.

The AI revolution hasn't really hit yet... and we're already seeing a new demand in dev’s with experience building with AI.

OpenAI’s docs are actually pretty good. I would learn how to use it here.

⏩ Productivity

The number of times I've had to rewrite similar components, each slightly different, over and over again 😪

So many dull and tedious tasks.

Time is valuable and it's our most precious resource. By automating certain areas of development, we can expect a faster product output.

AI powered coding platforms truly shine when enhancing an established codebase, using context to provide meaningful suggestions. However, for projects starting from scratch, their utility diminishes. In such cases, manual work or template based approaches with traditional programming tools prove more effective. Nonetheless, AI excels in scenarios like code refactoring or automating monotonous tasks, serving as a valuable time saving ally for developers.

🤝 No code tools

• No code tools and AI offer a gateway for enthusiasts and entrepreneurs to explore software development.

• Engaging with these tools provides individuals with firsthand exposure to the complexities of the field.

• It leads to a deepened appreciation for the expertise required in crafting robust applications.

• Many find themselves recognizing the value of seasoned software engineers in bringing their visions to life.

• This synergy between creators and engineers is a testament to the potential of these technologies.
