What's one common challenge software engineers face, no matter what kind of tech company they work for?

Casual observers don’t realize just how fast this evolution is happening. Mind you, all of these milestones sounded like complete science fiction to someone not working in that field hearing them 6 months ago. The question of software engineers being replaced by AI is no longer an if, it’s a when.

3.5 years ago, github copilot was made available publicly. Tons of people commented that AI was going to replace human developers. Github Copilot (and competitors) had a significant impact on the developer experience but didn’t really change the nature of the job.

But the fact is that the skillset and the tasks of the software engineer (no matter who they work for) are going to change almost completely. And so all engineers think (or should think) about how to stay employable in the near term.

Are there legal obligations to report the known whereabouts of a missing person that doesn’t want to be found?

Their job being replaced by AI.

The latest development is asynchronous coding agents like Codex or Jules. Now you can give simple tasks to an agent and it will take them to completion. Agents, by the way, are no longer limited to writing code, they also do tasks within the scope of what human engineers do.

2.5 years ago, chatGPT was released and the same conversation resurfaced. Now you had a tool with whom you could simulate technical conversations up to generating code, and you could use the various models released along chatGPT (and competitors) to perform tasks. This has made some tasks which were up to now difficult and labor intensive, much easier, but it has extended the capacity of the software engineer more than again, transform the nature of their job.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Same observations for tools released in the last year, such as AI-centric IDEs like cursor or windsurf and the advent of “vibe-coding”. This gives developers more capacities but doesn’t completely redefine what it is that they do.

Of course there is nuance to that, and arguably the advent of AI centric way of creating applications will require a lot of new human workers, and the role of software engineer is going to undergo a radical transformation more than be completely eliminated.
