software engineer

“And we don't look at the functional data as much, but as you can the PM data seems to be trending just slightly, even maybe below software engineers and that as well, which is maybe a comp for this.”

“They built their company Menlo to have people work in pairs, not just the software engineers, team members work in pairs and they switch pairs at a regular cadence.”

“I do think normalize seeing it is one of the simplest ways. You know, if you close your eyes and imagine a software engineer, my dream is like you imagine a diverse set of folks. You don't imagine a very specific archetype. And so I do think you can't believe …”

“First of all, I really am a very strong believer that like platform engineering has to involve software engineering. If you don't have any software engineers on your platform team, and you only have like, you know, more like operation systems engineers, DevOps…”

“I don't think you'll need fewer. I think you'll be able to do more things. So like, think about every company, our head of sales came to me the other day and you need to hire more engineers because we just have so many things we need to build. Like when have y…”

“How this is going to work, if you fast forward, you know, one, two, five years, whatever, like PMs are, they're going to be writing quote unquote, instead of just writing a Jira ticket and waiting for a developer to do it. The developers are going to be able t…”

“The right calculus that JP Morgan Chase or any of these companies will make is the ROI of building technology has actually gone up. So the opportunity costs of not investing more into technology has gone up, which means that you should just invest even more. A…”

“I think we will get to a place where you will be able to be less careful as a software engineer, which right now is an incredibly, incredibly important skill. And yeah, we'll move a little bit from carefulness a little bit more towards taste.”

“Where it's, as an engineer, you know, if you're not using AI at all to write code, I mean, you're you know, you're falling behind, honestly. And it is a technology that everyone should have and should be using.”

“Essentially everyone, every engineer is turning into an EM, engineering manager, coordinating all of these junior AI engineers.”

“He was like, okay, here's more like currently like best performing, average performing, and lowest performing. And then there's a randomized trial. So like they give like half of each group, like access to like cursor. And then he was noticed like over time, I…”

“I still think that things that we interviewed for in the past, a critical mindset, the ability to really understand deeply the technical nature of a problem. Is still much more important than whether you're a fully AI native programmer.”

“And as you make code even more ubiquitous, it's actually just going to be used for many more purposes. And so there's just going to be a ton more need for people with this, like humans with this competency.”

“I do think that there is a future where I think by the end of the year, what we're going to start to see is these start to get even murkier, murkier, where I think in some places the title software engineer is going to start to go away. And it's just gonna be …”

“I expect by the end of this year, it will not be uncommon to have an engineer say that almost all of that code is written by AI.”

“People talk about how important it is not to interrupt your coders, right? Your coders needs to have Like solid two to four hour blocks of uninterrupted work so they can spin up their mental model and tune out the code. It's some, that that's changed completel…”

“And in my, what I feel like is that the engineers that will continue to thrive are just are basically going to become more PME because the coding part is now going to be solved.”
