How I see AI effecting the Software Developer profession:
I see the changes in my role as a professional software developer to be related to where the focus is placed within the job. The time I used to spend writing code, has now shifted into putting together clear, concise prompts.
I spend a lot of time gathering reference material and putting that in a directory that the AI can access. Then I spend time writing and proof reading a long prompt tying together in all the resources and scope. I work with the AI to convert that into an elaborate specification document with todo items. Finally I set the swarm of AI on the todo list.
So my time has shifted from writing code to more architectural documentation. It still relies on my years of experience. That was valuable then and probably more valuable now.
So I don't really see that anything professionally is changing much of all. Just the emphasis within the profession is changing.
