With AI allowing unexperienced people starting creating tools = more bugs - AI on big project is known to make a ton of mistakes = more hacks. I guess right now AI is targetting a lot of the UI work and if it does build a backend it is building very trival CRUD backends so hacks are less likely but once AI tries to build more complex backend systems I can see some critical errors being made. Even more risk with smart contract development.

I guess security auditors will become even more demanded and sort after with the wave of AI. "written by AI, audited by humans" - unless we see it the other way around or even "written by AI, audited by AI".. going to be an interesting 5 years!

Personally for me I see AI as turning yourself into a superhuman programmer; if you have deep knowledge of programming and now you got this buddy who can help you with instant feedback loop you can be 10x faster and in turn 10x more impactful. I probably see the future as companies having smaller engineering teams, senior engineers with AI tooling removing the need for junior or graduate engineers to even be part of the businesses.

The best programmers adapt and make these tools enhance you, the worse get left behind due to pride of "I don't need AI to help me".

In terms of designers I wonder where figma AI will take them, as design is very much about taste if you can program the AI to know your taste will it be able to design you incredible designs? Who knows whatever the case its going to be fun to be around for this crazy shift.
