Software engineering faces a quiet split. Some coders feed prompts to AI and call it a day. Others wield it to sharpen their edge. Koshy John nails this in his April 19 post on his blog . “The software engineers who will be most valuable in the future are not the ones who do everything themselves. They are the ones who refuse to spend time on work that A.I. can do for them, while still understanding everything that is done on their behalf.” John, drawing from chats with tech leaders, spots two camps.
