Do you have any friends who studied finance, business, or maybe work at a bank in some department?

If you ask them, “During your bachelor’s degree, how many days did you spend learning things outside of class? How many portfolio projects did you build just to get a job? How many new programming languages did you learn? How many blog posts or videos did you go through to keep up? And how many of them did you do even after you got a job?”

The answer is probably close to zero.

Now compare that to someone studying computer science or software engineering. You don’t just attend classes — you have to spend maybe 10x that time learning on your own. (And that’s me being optimistic.)

So here’s my point:

Software developers already carry way more weight on their shoulders than most other jobs.

If one day AI gets to a point where it can build a full, end-to-end project flawlessly (and who knows when that’ll happen), all it means is that developers will be on the same level as everyone else — not less valuable, just equal.

So let AI make everything by itself — trust me, most people who aren’t software engineers barely do anything at work anyway.

If anything, it’s finally time for developers to chill a bit like everyone else.

They’ll review edge cases, make sure things are running as they should, write solid prompts…

And believe me, even then, they’ll still be doing more than most other people at their jobs.
