I have the same job and my company opened the floodgates on AI recently. So far it’s been assistive tools, but I can see the writing on the wall. These tools will be able to do much more given enough context.
The writing is definitely on the wall for the entry-level intern programmer type, certainly. I think the next couple of levels of programmer will hang on for a while longer, though. At that level it’s less about being able to program stuff than it is about knowing what needs to be programmed. AI will get there too eventually but I’m not updating my resume just yet.
