It seems unclear to me which level of expertise will be most affected by AI becoming a defacto tool in the software development process. Most people are assuming senior/proficient devs will still be needed to spot errors, and junior ones less so...

But you could also argue AI code generation could be a great equalizer and mediocre programmers could be as effective, if not more effective than more skilled programmers since the skillset will change from the ability to write good code, to the ability to understand specs, and use the tooling.

So start learning how to use GPT in your workflow and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised by where all of this leads!
