"We're going to see some amazing things, but our hunger for more functionality, more apps, more ecosystems is just gonna get higher, and higher, and higher,"
"So, in the end, I think this is gonna be another, essentially, level of programming language, a high-level programming language."
"System Design is exactly what I am trying to ensure newer engineers get a handle on,"
"'Guess what? In the future, we're gonna have these things called video game engines,"
AI will enable broad coding accessibility and function as a higher-level programming language. Appetite for more functionality, apps, and ecosystems will continue to rise, creating sustained demand for programming work. Engineering roles are unlikely to disappear because specialization, orchestration, and higher-level coordination remain necessary. System design skills will become increasingly important as engineers integrate and direct AI-generated components to build large, scalable systems. Rapid tool improvements can expand entire industries, as seen in gaming, and agentic AI workflows like "vibe coding" will change engineering practice while augmenting foundational design and implementation responsibilities.
