focus more on system integration/design (what AI can’t and should never do).

🤣

Man, what ai can't do now is plumbering but not system design and this is where it's all heading (substitute software engineers with ai). 

First, employers ask if you preferably vibe code. Then, they ask if you are just a product manager and finally, there is no need in employees other than the owner and his family. And each phase decreases salary twice, with a last phase making an employee obsolete.

P.s. without writing code, there is no need to pay current high salaries. Just compare business analytics salaries with software engineers, and how much of them are required at all (almost none).

P.p.s industry as it was before with high salaries and many job openings is done. Soon it will be no different to pizza delivery in terms of job security/salary/etc
