These kind of news are for non-tech people who believe building software is easy task. Probably it will make it easier, but maintenance is a pain(EDIT: I wrote this in Mar 25, 2025, I'll come here one year now and add new comments here)

Why isn't anybody saying that AI will make the newspaper, taxes, write novels and such? Why so much focus on Software Engineers?
@boian-inavov
As a software engineer, I’m still waiting for the day that AI will actually replace me. As someone that uses AI (Claude & GH Copilot), it can only be a better autocomplete tool. Yesterday AI couldn’t find a basic bug that stumped a few junior engineers, which was a typo in a function call. Do you think it’ll be good at debugging itself, especially in complex codebases? At this point it’s just copying from its knowledge base and telling you how correct it is, without even understanding how wrong it is.
@pkcomments
Layoffs are mainly because they hired too many during post covid, anyone without degree and completed bootcamp got the job, the money was cheap & tech stocks were high. Then, they realized that they don't need so many people and the interest rates went high. AI is just part of the puzzle. Software engineers are the ones who created and developing AI use cases. Things will change when AI hype settles down and becomes more practical in its applications.

AIs are guns, devs are soldiers, guns don't replace soldiers, but they do replace those who don't learn how to shoot.

Your job is also in Danger, Lady we can soon create video without any human Ressource
@kabatram
Instead of dealing with debugging bugs that you made yourself, now you're dealing with debugging bugs that the AI made
@Play_Streams
Nonsense. Anyone who has worked in the software industry knows how complex products can be. Not just in building them but in maintenance.
@kradnoel
Nah, i believe that journalist who don't do investigative journalism and columnist would be the first to go away.
@albertdominicpimentel2376
I just spent half of the day getting screamed at by a client because a new dev decided to use AI for his patch and everything just stopped working. Had a senior dev stop doing important work to fix the code. What a waste. AI my a++.
@haliz-t2d
this is the equivalent of saying that calculators will replace mathematicians
@esparda07
The first sentence explains what killed the career. It was the most famous job in the US = saturation = lower value.
@Micha-d4v
AI coding tools like Copilot or Cursor can help generate code snippets and suggestions, but they can't build complete e-commerce applications independently. They often introduce bugs, miss security concerns, and make circular suggestions. These tools require an experienced programmer to review, fix, and integrate their output properly. They're assistants to developers, not replacements. People rarely highlight AI's true strengths in writing, content generation, accounting, tax preparation, and data analysis - areas where AI excels at processing information and producing useful outputs with less technical risk and minimal human oversight.

"Was considered the best job in the US" yeah, this was true around the world and I hated it. When I started IT it was out of pure passion and curiosity. My parents didn't understand what I was doing and thought I wanted to become a secretary. My teachers didn't really think much of me and told me to stop coding, because it distracted from school and I should get an apprenticeship so I could do useful work. I got my degree and software engineering boomed and along with it the "career coder". Everything was IT now. Everyone was an expert. So yeah, if Software Engineering becomes a little bit less popular I'm all for it. Because maybe the field becomes one where passion matters more again. And we get less of corporate pretentiousness buzzwording and swarms of ivy league paycheck developers.
@dannypasquel
I am tired of CEOs and AI. Facebook has sucked for a while now. I don't want to listen to this over and over again. As they try to continue to inflate AI and hype there stock price. I am going to continue to work on my engineering skill. CEOs are not engineers
@patodeweloperka
6:11 We brought a few AI-assisted projects back to life, but after a few sprints, the AI got too overwhelmed with its own mess and just gave up fixing its own bugs - too wide context. So, clients started hiring the same developers fired before as 'AI engineers' to clean up the AI's code. In the end, investors are thrilled because AI totally replaced expensive developers… with the same developers, just under a new title. Progress!
@konoko-o3o
This hyperfocus on engineering fields by journalists is comical considering that in the last OpenAI publication where they checked the impact of AI in replacing daily activities, software, ML, and Data engineers are around 30%; journalists, on the other hand, are about 97%.
@dc37wwe2kmods
I am a software engineer and use AI to help maintain and write excellent code. I tell you, these AI are pretty good in debugging, generating small code blocks, and overall feature discussion and breakdown. But if you ask it to create a whole project, it still needs a human touch because sometimes the AI just writes code that doesn't work at all, or code that doesn't work with the other codes. There should be no "It will replace our job" mentality, instead people should see it as "it should help me do my job better"
@KiritoCR1981
As a software engineer, I have reviewed the content of this video and found several inaccuracies and misleading statements. The information presented is somewhat incorrect from various perspectives, and it does not reflect the current industry needs and what actually is going on.
