An AI that writes complex accurate code will not be based on LLMs. That’s because you cannot possibly write precise and complete instructions using human prose, regardless of whether you might call yourself a “prompt engineer”. Such an AI would take in symbols as its specifications.

To me that leaves an opening for a software architect that can put these symbols together quickly and efficiently.

A core skill of such a person would be deep technical domain knowledge. Other things like negotiation, persuasion, communication, management are also core skills worth developing.

Of course, many peripheral jobs would still be needed like cybersecurity, databases, networking, hardware etc.

This kind of AI technology is coming soon. The good news is that most software people are really good at adapting to learning new things.
