I'll be the writer who talks about how great the finished product is.
The AI will develop it first, then I'll do my job.

I think there would always be someone to make the prompts for AIs, manage them, and check if they work properly, ensuring that they deliver the product we asked for. I believe developers would do that job, with some assist coding.
It's all free up time for developers to explore new technologies and focus on cutting edge projects that require human insight.
I think developers will shift more toward problem solving and architecture, letting AI handle the repetitive coding tasks.
They’ll likely focus on higher level strategy and system design, using AI as a tool speed up development.
Developers will become more like AI supervisors, ensuring the code AI writes is efficient, secure, and follows best practices.
I see devs moving into more creative roles, like product innovation and user experience, where human intuition is still key.
I'll use AI to reduce development time. I hope the engineering aspect remains available for a long time.
As AI technology advances and begins to write code more efficiently than humans, developers will likely find their roles evolving rather than becoming obsolete. Instead of solely focusing on writing code, developers may shift their attention to higher-level tasks such as designing complex systems, improving user experience, and overseeing AI-generated code to ensure quality and maintainability. For example, while tools like top react developers, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, can be augmented by AI to streamline the development process, human developers will still be essential for understanding user needs and creating intuitive interfaces. React's flexibility and widespread use in both web and mobile applications mean that developers will need to focus on integrating AI tools effectively into their workflows, harnessing the strengths of both AI and human creativity. Ultimately, the future will likely see a collaborative relationship between developers and AI, with humans guiding the strategic direction while AI handles more routine coding tasks.
