The demand for engineers will continue to grow as software development becomes more complex, and AI tools will augment rather than replace the need for skilled professionals.

The future of software engineering will see an increase in the number of programmers and engineers, as AI tools like Devon enable more efficient workflows and task management.

The future of AI will likely lead to increased demand for human work, as AI tools will enhance productivity rather than replace jobs, similar to how self-driving technology has evolved.

With the rise of AI, engineers are now able to produce more technology, which means the ROI of building technology has actually gone up, leading to the need for more hires.

In the future, we may see a shift towards on-demand custom software, where users interact with AI to generate specific code solutions tailored to their needs, resulting in ephemeral programs that solve immediate problems. There will also be a demand for smart individuals who can effectively manage AI coding tools, and if we label them as software engineers, that's acceptable, but the nature of the job will be significantly different.

Software engineering costs are expected to plummet due to advancements in AI, leading to a shift in market dynamics where companies can rapidly develop their own business logic without relying on platform SaaS, while building custom-tailored solutions can significantly enhance business efficiency by avoiding the complications of poorly functioning SaaS platforms.

I think the world needs more AI infrastructure, and as we improve our technology and reduce costs, demand for AI will increase significantly.

The rise of AI coding agents is akin to the impact of the combine harvester on agriculture, where fewer farmers are needed to produce more food, suggesting a similar trend in software engineering.

The growth of AI won't lead to a sudden job loss for software engineers; instead, the job market will adjust gradually over the years.
