Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?
LLMs are becoming a part of software engineering career. The more I speak with fellow engineers, the more I hear that some of them are either using AI to help them code, or feed entire projects to AI and let the AI code, while they do code review and adjustments. I didn't want to believe in it, but I think it's here. And even arguments like "feeding proprietary code" will be eventually solved by companies hosting their own isolated LLMs as they become better and hardware becomes more available. My prediction is that junior to mid level software engineering will disappear mostly, while senior engineers will transition to be more of a guiding hand to LLMs output, until eventually LLMs will become so good, that senior people won't be needed any more. So, fellow software engineers, how do you future-proof your career in light of, the inevitable, LLM take over? --- EDIT --- I want to clarify something, because there seems to be slight misunderstanding.
