The Recurring Cycle of 'Developer Replacement' Hype
AI isn't replacing developers, it's transforming them. Just as NoCode created specialists and cloud turned sysadmins into DevOps engineers, AI elevates engineers from code writers to system architects. The most valuable skill isn't writing code, it's designing coherent systems.
