The future of software engineering will see a pronounced divide between engineers who excel in AI tool usage and those who do not. Mastery of AI will lead to premium roles, while others may find themselves in lower-level, less valuable tasks. AI is expected to empower engineers similarly to the internet's impact, facilitating productivity and complexity in their work. Bosworth foresees a landscape where small companies can achieve vast user bases, illustrating AI's potential to catalyze industry growth.
Bosworth stated that there will be a stronger tiering of capability between developers who master AI tools and those who do not, leading to differentiated roles in software engineering.
He highlighted that engineers who can effectively utilize AI tools will command a premium in their roles, while others may end up in lower-value tasks that the machines can't handle.
Bosworth compared the transformative power of AI in engineering to the internet, emphasizing how both have facilitated access to information and resources that previously required extensive effort.
Looking to the future, Bosworth expressed optimism that AI will enhance productivity and complexity in software engineering, allowing even small companies to scale immensely.
