AI tools write 40% of code; future of software engineering roles debated

AI tools are increasingly writing production code, with some top firms reporting up to 40% of code generated by AI. This trend raises questions about the future of software engineering roles, with a focus shifting towards "engineering precision" over model size. While AI adoption is challenging for companies, it's also leading to new human-AI team dynamics and critical production choices for AI engineers. AI
