Requirements gathering. System Analysis. System Design. Engineering.
Will all matter the same as they do now.
This is a very long-winded way of saying gatekeepers gonna gatekeep.
Anyone can do programming. That's not really that impressive.
Writing/organizing/evolving software so it scales along with the organization (note: not speaking about performance here) is super important.
How will the software be built/maintained/deployed when there are dozens of orgs, each with dozens of teams and sub-teams?
And let's say AI does all the programming for us, but engineers are there to know what can be programmed and what couldn't. Engineers are there to prevent business from trying to make flying submarines.
Basically engineers are the girl in front of the computer who can answer this question: https://xkcd.com/1425/
Should I give up React and learn to draw feet?
But after the AIpocalypse, it's only the not-yet-sentient sprinklers that will still be willing to water our few remaining crops and feed us.
