0:00Software engineers have spent decades in

0:02one of tech's most lucrative and in-

0:03demand roles. Then late last year, a

0:06switch flipped and everything changed.

0:08In the span of just a few weeks, OpenAI,

0:10Anthropic, and Google released updates

0:12to their AI coding tools that

0:13drastically improved what they could do.

0:16Jobs that once took days were suddenly

0:18done in hours. For many engineers, the

0:20change was night and day. One described

0:22the moment as an existential crisis.

0:24Another said AI tools are now writing 80

0:26to 90% of her code, up from just 5 to

0:2910% a year ago. Andre Kapathy, a

0:32founding member of OpenAI who recently

0:34joined Anthropic, wrote in February that

0:36it was hard to communicate how much

0:38programming has changed due to AI in the

0:40last 2 months. Before December, he said

0:43coding agents basically didn't work.

0:45With more time spent managing agents and

0:47less time in the code, some developers

0:49schedules look different. They're acting

0:51less like engineers and more like agent

0:53supervisors. For many engineers, the

0:55pace of change has been invigorating,

0:56but it does raise some uncomfortable

0:58questions. What does it mean to be a

1:00coder if you can build an app without

1:01coding? But this extraordinary new power

1:03is nobody's secret weapon. If you have

1:05it, so does everyone else. So, some

1:07engineers said they're doubling down on

1:09their distinctly human qualities, honing

1:12their problem solving skills, their

1:14judgment, and communication, and other

1:16things that AI struggles to replicate.

1:18After all, engineers who really know

1:19their craft will, at least for now, have

1:22an edge over someone who just downloaded

1:24clawed code for the first time last

1:25week. Business Insider is exploring this

1:28existential transformation in software

1:29engineering in a multi-week series we're

1:31calling the great coding reset. To read
