Small and easier tasks will get automated. So work like scripting, analytics will see a large degree of automation. 
 Junior roles like data analyst/scientist and entry level software engineer will also see a  similar degree of automation. 
 Basically get better at what you do and expand your knowledge and work context window and scoping to be better than a machine.

The entire way software works will change. Software would get more voice operated and UI will change drastically. Copilot is not that bad now itself. AI will do PR reviews and will start to fix small bugs. More QA operation will be induced by AI. Major decision and supervision will be left to humans.

Software Developer

When NC/LC tools made it big, every one was like - who needs to learn Java/.net/Python etc, we’ll just drag and drop stuff. 
  
 I see the same over confidence with ChatGPT. The amount of nonsense self created functions it creates is crazy.

World best open sourced AI company CEO says Indian developers are most vulnerable to AI

Software Engineer

It's a every day news that software companies are adapting A.I. I have a doubt around that. As a developer everyone is aware of 2 or more programming languages and as we work we gain domain skills along with software development tools, devops, qa etc. I wanted to understand how AI is finding its place in software companies I mean  in what part of our daily work will AI comes in. if anyone has an example and explain that would be great. also as a Software developer how should I being AI learnings.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Curious to learn about what sectors will see more action in the run up to 2030 where we are slated to become a $5trn economy and lots of companies have done Capex investments across sectors. What specific sectors, companies (listed or startups ) will benefit. Collective logic and name taking might help us all

5 trn economy, which sectors will benefit in startups and stock markets

Growth Manager

Here's my rationale on all of it.

There’s a lot of buzz about “AI developers” in the tech world. Headlines shout that the days of human coders are numbered—a tantalizing, but dubious claim. 

Startups like Magic.dev are raising hefty sums to create "superhuman software engineers." Their mission? To outperform and possibly replace human coders. Then there's Cognition Labs' "Devin," which raised $21M and claims to be an AI capable of doing real software engineering. These companies are cashing in on fears and ambitions.

One narrative is that tools like Devin will soon replace entry-level developers. 

Devin’s current track record shows it solves about 13.86% of issues on GitHub unassisted. While that’s leagues better than previous models, remember, a competent junior developer would do much more.

We shouldn’t be fooled by flashy headlines or orchestrated media frenzies. Devin is, for now, an advanced coding assistant, not a replacement for the nuanced, context-rich work that seasoned engineers provide.

Consider the landscape. Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot has already dominated the coding assistant niche for over two years, with 1.3 million paying subscribers. Pricing at $20/month makes it a tough act to follow, especially given the computational costs tied to maintaining high-performance AI models. 

Companies like Sourcegraph and Replit are also deeply embedded with their respective AI tools, Cody and Replit AI. The remaining space is limited, pushing new startups to make audacious claims to carve out a territory.

The startup game is about getting noticed. Cognition AI achieved near viral attention, taking a page from ChatGPT’s playbook. Their video showcases are strategic, designed to create buzz. But strong media presence doesn’t guarantee a product that delivers on lofty promises.

The seductive idea that advances in software will eliminate the need for human engineers isn't new.

In 1959, COBOL aimed to empower business people to write their own programs. Instead of reducing the need for developers, it created a demand for COBOL specialists. The cycle repeats. Each new tool or language claims to reduce the need for knowledge workers, but instead, it shifts the nature of the work, often requiring even more specialized skills.

AI, especially large language models, remains highly effective within certain constraints. They can automate routine tasks and provide coding assistance, but they are fundamentally "probability machines," making educated guesses. Hallucinations, errors, and a lack of deep contextual understanding limit their utility.

Five years from now, developer tools will undoubtedly be more powerful. But the idea that AI will fully replace human engineers is a perpetual myth. Instead, AI will continue to serve as an extension of human capability—better, smarter tools, but not standalone replacements.

In our era, it’s crucial to discern between hype and reality. Don’t get blinded by flashy demos and bold claims. Look for sustainable, incremental improvements that make you a more efficient, capable engineer.

Is the “AI Developer” a Genuine Threat to Jobs?

Program Manager

There are multiple companies worldwide leading the forefront of AI, with inovative strides in GPTs, Multi Agent models, GANs etc. However, most Indian AI startups are not working on the cutting edge. Rather, most of them are building wrappers around GPT-4 for a consumer experience.

With the lack of any meaningful innovation within this space, is it unreasonable for Indian founders to raise on similar multiples as our counterparts in the west?

Because honestly? I can see a lot of "crypto-nerd" founders shilling the new oil called "AI" after their previous NFT/crypto/ICO-crap didn't float.

[Thread] Will AI in India be the next Crypto?

How important it is to upgrade technical skills for a mid level engineers with 5-8 yoe keeping in mind the AI is on rise. 
3 options: 
1. It’s important to include AI in your skills.
2. No, it won’t impact that much and will fade with time.
3. Better to start slowly with AI and have secondary skills.

Future of Mid Level Engineers with AI in scope

We are seeing a lot of jobs being eaten by AI and the unemployment rate is getting higher and higher everyday. What would the future look like?

What is the Future of Jobs? What will the next 10 Years look like?

Product Marketing Manager

I’m a college student and rather going for a full stack dev job, I wanted to prep for a AI dev job. But I’m thinking if there is any market for Ai devs considering the AI bubble is decreasing.

Is there any market for AI devs for freshers ?

I feel at the pace AI is advancing, most of us will be unemployed. The uncertainty is making me anxious, any help appreciated :)

Anyone else feeling scared of AI induced unemployment ?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am a dev with 3 YOE and with everything going on in chatGPT  have been going through imposter syndrome, i have friends who work at gaming companies making peanuts compared to me but work on much more complex problems and i feel with the level of sophistication GTP-4 has reached it can easily reduce my workload by half 
I feel once we fully integrated AI Models with our codebase it game over for most junior devs ,there is going to be a massive salary correction for software devs and rightfully so

We are paid too much and

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Because every Santa-Banta startup has started to pitch AI wrappers to me over the last so many month.

What is wrong with people who pitch AI startups but they are really AI wrappers?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. 

I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches.

I'd love to  hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

Why the heck do people do an MBA?

I can share, I was working abroad post my T1 engineering. So you can imagine it must be > 1L.  
  
 Like all those confused 20+ engineers, I asked one of my skip levels that how should one plan the career path. He gave me a simple framework, “Look at your boss or bosses boss. If you are ok living that life, you’re on the right path else time to think more”.  
  
 I got my answers, maybe try finding yours rather than seeking majority “votes” :)

Account Manager

Really due to AI is there any risk for developer jobs like java/.net/UI? is this also a reason for layoffs? pls provide your thoughts in comments

I know this is quite a sensitive topic but I'd rather face the truth.

A couple of months ago, I was less worried, but now looking at the pace of development in IDEs and tools to help with software development, coding has been made much much simpler. 

Do you really think AI will take away jobs?

Will AI take away coding jobs?

Hi everyone!!
I saw this video recently on YouTube by varun

https://youtu.be/J4Hd5wudIrk?feature=shared

I wanna know from people around here ,how much AI take over will happen in next 5 years in software development? 

Should we start switching career to AI/ML OR software development will be there in next 5 years??

Software Engineering in next 5 years

Basically with so much hype around AI could take away  so much of the software development market, what happens to companies like Infosys/Accenture/Thoughtworks in like a decade.

What happens to service/consultancy type companies in 10-15 years?

Business Analyst

How the current SDE1 and SDE2 will get accomodated in IT industry in future. Hear me out. Currently lets say there is a team of 10 members in one of the IT company. Lets say 4 are sde1, 4 are sde2, 1 is sde3, 1 is teamLead. Now in future since higher positions are very less, how these 4 sde1 and 4 sde2 will get accomodated. In past years, for those who are currently at manager+ positions, when they were sde1/sde2, at that time number was low, so they got accomodated easily in growing IT demand. But now it seems there are already too many IT companies, seems very low probability that count of IT employees in total of India will even increase by 10-20% in next 5 years. Every year lakhs of IT engineers are also getting graduated. They can get that sde1 positions, but what about current sde1 and sde2 ? Do we need to find another career ?

Whoever comments, please explain in detail your thoughts. Need some discussions to decide future career path.

Future of Software Devs

My fellow engineers this chatgpt may not replace but it will surely reduce no of Software engineer.

A project deadline was missed and project manager called team(10people) and infront of them he completed the project not alone but taking help of chatgpt and 4 of 10.
"So u see 6 can be replaced anyday" he told .

Your bro being intern was just mute spectator but inside fati to mere bhi thi.
So guys use chatgpt otherwise someone will replace u by using chatgpt

Hi All,
I am going to attend a training in MS Azure AI from next month and planning to learn additionally, get trained in hands on,get certified too if possible.

The resources and access is entirely provided by the company so it will be easy to train. I would want to know will it will be good to transaction too Azure open ai tech and find projects inside/outside company. I am currently in a support project not much growth.

Will Azure openai jobs be increasing & demanded in the job market in India?

Will it have enough salary equal to a developer if i train and try to switch,I want to switch to a hugh paying technology? Also how much would company offer for 4 years experienced AI engineer?

Or should I need to go with a different technology or different AI?

Pls let me know you inputs. 🙏

Whay will be the future of software developers in India in the AI realm
