This is very close to how I see the change too. AI can already write a lot of code, but that does not make it a product engineer. The important part is understanding the problem, the constraints, the risks, and knowing when the result is good enough. In my work, the human role is moving more toward owning the context and making the final decisions.
I agree that strict typing is becoming more important, especially when AI tools work with the codebase. Good types make the code easier to understand and safer to change. But I still think some documentation is needed to explain why things are built that way, not only what is allowed by the types.
Stack Overflow helped developers a lot for years, but with AI tools I honestly don’t remember the last time I opened it directly 😊 The open question is where expert Q&A fits now. AI can work with context, while human experts bring real-world experience and judgment, but that experience also needs to be relevant to the specific problem. How do you think expert Q&A platforms should handle that matching and validation problem?
