TLDR Tech / Dev
Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Relying more on AI for coding tasks can decrease the long-term technical expertise of software engineers by reducing the need for deep, manual learning. Even if these tools eventually lead to skill atrophy, the immediate productivity gains mean that professionals are basically required to adopt them to stay competitive in a demanding market. That means that software engineering could technically become a high-intensity career with a limited duration.
