I think you're in for a rude awakening. The software engineering field will be an unrecognizable landscape 5-10 years from now and you'll be looked at like the guy who codes in text edit with no ide if you arent using some form of an AI to generate code -- notice I said generate, coding from scratch will be a thing of the past also.


That's incredibly funny, since I've been developing software for 20+ years using debian and vim (look mom, no IDE!) and I'm pretty sure that's what I'll be doing for the years to come. Imagine how valuable it will be when you're in the minority of humans who still understand how a linux system operates, and how to write and read your own code! Amazing! I absolutely welcome cloud and AI, happy to let it destroy any and all wisdom of future generations :)
