AI for sure helps write code faster, leading to faster prototypes and faster deliveries, but the real value is that developers don’t need to spend much time now on low value work like authentication, authorization, permissions, payments and all the common features that every app needs but no one should be rebuilding from scratch. The real win is that developers can focus on what makes the software unique and have more time to understand the business model and the core problem they’re actually solving. That’s where the value is and not in writing another login flow, but in building the thing that makes your product different. All the AI software building tools and vibe coding platforms are getting more people to build, which means more software out there, which means more work for software developers because at some point, everyone realizes they need a real software engineer. More people building is not a threat, it’s demand. From personal experience, I’ve had more work as a software engineer in the past two years than ever before, and that’s because true founders and real businesses understand the value of an experienced software engineer who knows how to leverage AI. What are your thoughts about this matter? Prove me wrong :D submitted by /u/Ejboustany
