Coding is just like the language we use to talk to computers. It's not the skill itself, but rather how do I innovate? How do I build something interesting for my end users?

In a recently leaked recording, AWS CEO told employees that most developers could stop coding once AI takes over, predicting this is likely to happen within 24 months.

Instead of AI replacing developers or expecting a decline in this role, I believe he meant that responsibilities of software developers would be changed significantly by AI.

Being a developer in 2025 may be different from what it was in 2020, Garman, the CEO added.

Meanwhile, Amazon's AI assistant has saved the company $260M & 4,500 developer years of work by remarkably cutting down software upgrade times.

Amazon CEO also confirmed that developers shipped 79% of AI-generated code reviews without changes.

I guess with all the uncertainty, one thing is clear: Ability to quickly adjust and collaborate with AI will be important soft skills more than ever in the of AI.
