In a recent podcast interview, Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger discussed the rapidly evolving role of software engineers due to advancements in AI. As AI grows more proficient in generating code, Krieger anticipates a shift where developers will spend less time coding and more time reviewing AI-generated code and overseeing project elements. He emphasized that understanding complex user interactions and strategic decision-making will be paramount, signifying a transition from hands-on coding to managing AI tools and ensuring quality outcomes in development.
"How do we evolve from being mostly code writers to mostly delegators to the models and code reviewers?" Krieger asked hinting at the change in software engineering roles.
“Driving alignment and actually figuring out what to build is still the hardest part.” Krieger emphasizes the complexities of human decision-making in tech.
