I keep seeing posts about how AI is going to replace developers, but at the same time it feels like more software is being built than ever. More side projects, more startups, more tools, more everything. If anything, AI seems to be making it easier for more people to build, not reducing the amount of building happening. Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or Copilot make it faster to write code, and even earlier stages are getting help now with tools like ArtusAI or Uizard that help structure ideas or mock things out. But none of that removes the need to actually understand what you’re building, make decisions, and deal with real-world complexity. So I’m not sure the “AI is killing software engineering” take really holds up. If building gets easier and cheaper, wouldn’t that just mean more software gets created and more engineers are needed, not fewer? Curious how people here see it. submitted by /u/Tough_Reward3739
