Emerging? I graduated in 2006 with a BEng in Software Engineering.

The difference between it and the BSc CompSci degree I started in, was that optional modules became mandatory — including an industrial placement year (paid internship).

My gut disagrees, because LLMs are at about the same level in those things as they are in low level coding: not yet replacing humans in project level tasks any more than they do in coding tasks, but also being OK assistants for both coding and project domains. I have no reason to think either has less or more opportunity for self-training, so I expect progress to track for the foreseeable future.

(That said, the foreseeable future in this case is 1-2 years).
