Engineers will shift from writing code to directing AI agents that do it. They'll focus on deciding what to build, choosing implementation paths, and designing architecture while automated coding handles the routine work.

Engineers are dead is another topic.
We're gonna end up in engineering and data science being directors as opposed to actors. The coding agents will write the code. What remains a really critical challenge is to understand what we need to build and guide it in the places where the coding agents are not doing a good job, like fundamentals, things that are not obvious, that there's 5 ways to build something, architecture.
