It was always about building things that work — and knowing how to fix them when they don’t. There’s a debate happening in engineering circles right now, and it mostly misses the point. Some argue that AI will replace software engineers. Others argue that engineers will always be needed because AI can’t “truly” reason. Both sides are arguing about the wrong thing. The more interesting question isn’t whether engineers will be replaced.
