You make it sound as if (software) engineer jobs are constantly doing cutting edge innovation, and perhaps as if all engineers are capable of it. That doesnt match my experience. Most of it is a more or less smart combination of standard concepts: Something GPTs are already pretty good at and i'm sure they will improve further.

But we are, at least I am, almost always integrating or interacting with new libraries, APIs, new features , new behaviours. I might not be personally writing that code but I definitely need to be up to date and adapting all the time.
