If coding can be automated, where do software engineers provide value in the workforce? Does software engineering require writing code? In this episode, Abi and Ariel talk about the future of software engineering and the “expectation vs. reality” of the demand to integrate AI. We also have a tangent about the value of Fruit Love Island. Transitions are hard. Though the day to day of the software engineer will surely change, we share hopes that the innate scarcity of human effort will provide value in the face of automation.
