A new series featuring tech leaders argues that artificial intelligence is not a threat to software developers but a catalyst for their evolution. While no‑code and “vibe coding” tools can speed up simple projects, complex products still require human expertise in architecture, security, and user experience. Developers who learn to collaborate with AI will become more efficient and valuable, using the technology to handle repetitive tasks and focus on higher‑level problems. The piece emphasizes that AI is a tool, not a replacement, and that the most successful developers will be those who become AI‑savvy. Read more →
