5 new Software Engineer Jobs that 'AI' will make (that aren't for ML specialists)

Not only with "AI" LLMs like Devin not take all the Developer Jobs, but there will be new Software Engineering opportunities made by "AI" in the future. And i'm not talking about "AI" Jobs like Machine Learning Experts. These are jobs for Existing Developers and Software Engineers living in a world full or ChatGPT and Claude and Gemini.

Don't believe the hype about there being no human programmers left in five years. "AI" Models are software, and ALL SOFTWARE HAS BUGS, and with bugs come opportunities.

The design that allowed for buffer overflow bugs:

And these are the kinds of bugs that will make Buffer Overflows seem like child's play:

NOTE: (Not that anyone will read this, but) When this video uses the term "AI." it (like most of the current discourse these days) means current and near future "Generative AI" a.k.a. Large Language Models. If you're thinking about the Agents from the Matrix or the Robots from Terminator, that's DIFFERENT. That's the OTHER AI, the Human-Intelligence General AI, Sometimes called "AGI." That DOES NOT EXIST. For the time being it's PURE FICTION. It may get here soon, although I (and a lot of people smarter than me) seriously doubt it, but we'll see.

“I am not AI hater, I am a hype hater.”That kinda brought the memory of everyone was a blockchain expert few years ago.

As a person with only a few years of Software Engineering experience (after switching careers), I find tremendous value in listening to older people with 30 - 50 years of experience in the field, effectively using their wisdom to separate the wheat from the chaff and providing clarity amidst all the chaos and hype out there. Thank you sir, never stop sharing wisdom and objectivity.

[earlworth]

Remarkable how its the lowkey channels that make such insightful observations, while the big names just pump out hype and hyperbole. Hope you get many more subscribers, your content certainly deserves it

[igorlitvak]

Regression bugs already seem to be a huge problem for LLMs. I had a very hard time with chatGPT generating bugs in it's own code, then when I pointed out the bug, it immediately messed up in a different place. And this happened in tiny code snippets 50-100 lines long. Just imagine what a mess it will be in a project of 10k-100k lines of code and beyond.

I hope your channel becomes popular. A reasonable voice with industry experience between all the hype, doom and "buy my course"-content.

this man is like a light at the end of the tunnel
a beacon of hope
a kernel of corn in the sea of AI poop
thank you 🙂

Know your content is valuable by the ratio between views and comments. You're making SEs engage in productive conversations, and this is a trait one only sees in a team or community that has proper thought leadership. Keep doing what you do, I'm subscribed!

[JakubZabłocki-ey]

Man, I watch a lot of tech stuff on the internet, and your clarity, and honest words of your experience... it's just so freaking good. I really enjoy you'r content

[meijiishin]

Made me happy when you brought up comfy. A lot of guys love to talk about this and you can tell they've never touched one of these systems. When people think AI art, I think they mostly imagine those bad Dalle3 youtube thumbnails you see nowdays, but that's a skill issue. If you actually have a decent understanding of this stuff, you can produce art that would fool most people into thinking it's real. It's just funny to think that most people's idea of art made by an LLM is one-click-done magic, but when you actually get invested in it there's a ton of learning to be done. It reminds me of DJ-ing a little bit. Everybody thinks it looks easy until they try it.

Excellent video. It's good to see some optimism from the software engineering field in light of things like Devin popping up more and more.

[seraphcms]

This topic reminds me so much of no/low code that was swamping the media a few years ago where evenyone was saying it was the end of devs.
This was nonsense of course as not only did it take more devs to build the no code platforms, it also meant that to use these applicatuions effectively, you really needed to become a sort of meta-developer!

[redpillsatori]

Thanks for the practical, in-depth analysis of the situation. Subscribed!

[Andres-mu]

By now, LLM’s are a expensive and inefficient data compression tool. A speech box of low value without extensive optimization and fine tuning. A capable chatbot.

I am an Automation Engineer for an MSP. I am not a developer per say, but I can write code (and I do write quite a bit for custom automations) and I develop internal and client facing automations for various business processes, reporting etc. I am already starting to integrate and help customers with AI solutions. I anticipate that this will continue to grow and make more role even more valuable, so I am excited for the future.

[CloudScience-zl]

You just won a new subscriber. I think your analysis is spot on. I'm speaking as a 42 year old Site Reliability Engineer.

[AIWorks]

I feel like I can rely on your opinion a lot. Thank you for giving me a standard thought.

[ChrisCDXX]

As much as I would like to agree with you… I believe we are going to have to start thinking about post labor economics soon. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[andycalifornia]

Props for saying that this is not AI. It's nice to hear someone who KNOWS confront the narrative. Other people (for example, my co-workers) keep repeating nonsense like mindless drones.

[anasouardini]

This is the most informative AI video I've watched so far.
AI however, is in the mean time, killing my chances, I hope it gets better sooner. I'm tired of of having skills that I can't put into practice.
