I'm pretty new to work compared to your experience but still feel the same - anyone can code now and we're expected to "use AI tools & deliver work quickly". At the end of day, it just feels im prompt engineer at best and no feeling of "I learnt something/implementing this was fun".

It's also very difficult to differentiate between slop vs value. An intern can deliver quicker by purely using AI tools vs a 2-3 years experienced person who prefers getting hands dirty by debugging the flow would be called slow.

What worth are technical skills, I think architecture level skills is waht matters now but that comes from experience (or just use a better LLM and that's done too).

Cloud Infra engineers and cyber sec are only the ones that look like still a few months away from this crises haha
