However, the process of reading and understanding this code remains a bottleneck for teams, requiring substantial human time for comprehension and approval. This shift emphasizes the need for engineers whose expertise ensures the quality and intent behind the code, making their approval a valuable commodity. AI

IMPACT AI's ability to rapidly generate code may shift the focus of software engineering roles towards code comprehension and validation.

    Writing code got cheap. Reading it didn't, and reading is where teams now queue. A model writes 600 lines in a minute. A human needs an hour to understand it well enough to sign it. Reviews get faster because they have to, which means shallower, and generated code always looks pl…
