AI Threatens Software Developers as AI Takes Over Coding Jobs

• Tech India is implementing an AI-first strategy to foster human-AI collaborations.

• AI tools can write codes, provide real-time suggestions, and write full functions on simple prompts.

• This shift could lead to the loss of low-hanging coding jobs to AI colleagues.

• Some developers’ current contribution to coding will be redundant due to AI.

• However, AI can free up developers from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on deep-coding for complex, intelligent projects.

• Wipro and Infosys have announced the deployment of 200 AI agents on certain functions.

• AI tools are automating repetitive and template coding chores, including bug fixes, basic HTML/CSS web construction, basic CRUD operations, boilerplate generation, and test case writing.

• However, creative problem-solving, strategic design, and understanding complex user needs will likely remain human-centric.
