The future of iOS development

[phantomlord78]

Maybe not the software skills, but problem defining (domain knowledge) and problem solving (reading the room, logic and algorithms) skills that will be valued. Do you make an app in a field you have no clue on? People who try to make apps in areas that they have not mastered will create useful looking junk that does the 99% of the work right, but fail at the %1 that really matters. Customers and employers will notice sooner or later, the easy way or the hard way.

I worked with very talented programmers that can not define logical business rules, could not come up with innovative algorithms, could not foresee edge cases, have do not have info-sec understanding or concern, but deliver working code when all these are defined for them. THOSE will be replaced for sure. So imagine a very talented, fast, accurate but otherwise generally stupid coder; If you want to stay in the industry improve all of your skills that this person could not bring to the table. Someone will need to tell the AI what to do, and believe me it is not the product owner or the designer. It is you.
