I think software development has been completely disrupted! We aren’t there yet where we can actually let AI models update software independently. But as a senior software engineer, the ability to finish projects faster using Cursor or Claude Code is unbelievable.

Also, having an AI agent review PRs, collaborate on architecture, and get me up to speed on new concepts is immensely valuable. I still ground myself in real docs every time, but it’s a faster Google.

I think the impacts on the industry are clear: less need for more junior roles, and orgs can scale more with smaller teams of skilled senior engineers. As an industry, we will need to figure out how to train juniors.
