I don't think engineering time is up. People who have skills will be in demand no matter how much AI advances. Redundant roles which can be easily automated are reduced not the pure technicals once.
It's understandable to feel nostalgic about the past, but the tech industry is dynamic, adapting to evolving trends and challenges. While concerns are valid, there's also room for positive change and innovation. It's essential for companies to strike a balance between efficiency and employee well-being to foster a sustainable and thriving software engineering ecosystem.
