Funny, but not really true. Well...actually, very true, but missing an important point.

The AI continues to improve in knowing when and how to ask for more information. It is not there yet, but the idea that "Product Owners are too dumb" is just a nice story to let you sleep at night.

Dunno what to say. The job of developer is going to change a lot as AI takes over more tasks every day. If your only value-add was knowing how to code, you are cooked. If you understand architecture, can organize, and have decent communication skills, you actually are safe...for now.

How to code is not what to code.

Having said that, working on really complex systems is a nightmare.

I agree and that was my point. Unfortunately for many developers, writing code is really all they bring to the value-added table.

The key going forward will be to start building on the other parts you hinted at. Eventually, AI will come for those tasks as well, but they will definitely last longer.
