Some engineers are becoming more valuable than ever, while others are watching their skills depreciate in real time. The obvious answer sounds smart on the surface: it's over for developers. Like an agricultural society meeting the tractor, software engineers will need to reskill and do something else.
Generative AI will make engineers better. While it may make the gap between the median and the max engineer shrink, the gap between the great and the best engineers is about to get much larger. The top engineers of the AI future will probably utilize a different skill set than the top engineers of today.
