[Hot Take] AI will make SWEs redundant, PMs and Marketers will become the most important job
It’s clear that companies won’t need engineers 10 years from now.
They’ll just need people who know what to make. Who to sell to. How to sell to. At what price.
This will be the great commoditization of Software development
Take it or leave it.

This is an L take for someone who works at Google It is supremely obvious that SWEs are about to enter the golden era of Software Engineering. We are easily foreseeing 2x-2.5x improvement in developer productivity rate. You should go touch some grass or else you will end up becoming PM guru who shills substandard-courses to poor kids.
AI cannot compensate for judgement. 90% is still copied from github, stackoverflow but the 10% that a engineer puts brings the finesse. Domain design, system design, scaling is a responsibility and not just a thing to learn. Every Steve needs his Wozniak
The developers in comments are getting worked up. But reality is that it won't take long for a good Product Manager (Engineering+MBA) to learn the 'domain' knowledge of tech side. Remember he already has good business/product knowledge with execution experience of launching the product.
As years go by all tech task to lauch an app can get automated.
Think about it.
Sorry but it's just not true
Sorry but it can be true
What a cope. Do you really work at Google? Ai had already come for marketing and PM also
Yeah. AI is in all fields. Even in consulting too. Surprised to see the subject of the post.
Calculator will make accountant redundant version 8.0
Well, once MS Excel sheet learns to listen to people and speak to them, the accountants will no longer be needed
Only people have the patience or willingness to understand the why of questions. With age I have to come to believe most of us want delegate the whys and how’s unless we are paid for it.
Other way round, I believe. A lot of BS roles exist because many great engineers can't handle dealing with people, either other engineers or customers. The managing and smooth talking can be automated/generated as needed. Leaving technically skilled folks overlooking, approving, and integrating code generated by AI.
Can smell the elitism behind this comment.
I don't know how comparing skill sets is elitism.
i agree with you @Linkedinpoweruser and i see a lot of copium in the comments 👀😂😂😂
Why do you think your take matters if you don't even have a year of software development experience?
another day another PM L posting
