I am a founder of a software company so I am not a traditional software dev anymore. However, we are doubling down on AI and improving tons of internal and customer facing solutions with AI. This will impact some people for sure.

Anyone who is just an order taker or bills by the hour or keeps people waiting too long is going to be eliminated by AI. That is the brutal and honest truth. Companies have always wanted to move fast and now AI removes the dependency on humans to a great extent. I personally have started coding again with AI to move things faster at our company. Not in everything but for anything new/experiements/product dev work.

Tthere are tons of opportunities for senior devs to adjust and use AI to make them more valuable. If you work a regular corporate 9-5, your options may be limited unless you have a say. But if you work for yourself or smaller companies, get on the AI bandwagon if you want to keep you job and excel further. For example, one of my close friends is very senior level at a company and she is now vibe coding in house tools and working with her management team to show the ROI. She otherwise manages a team of over 1000+ people across global locations.

Remember, if you can't beat them, join them. Good luck.
