This test also filed is based on a conversation with Magnus Grimeland, CEO and founder of Antler, a global venture capital company at the start of the stadium. He also co-founded Zalora, a fashion electronic sales platform in Asia. This interview has been modified for duration and clarity.
There have been many major titles on replacing software engineering by AI, on the basis of the hypothesis that anyone can simply code any program with natural language. It is actually much more likely that the need and demand for great software engineers will increase over the next two decades.
Even the best software engineers today make mistakes. AI models will also continue to make mistakes, at least for a very long time, and the only ones to optimize this technology are software engineers.
At least over the next 20 to 30 years, what you will see is that the best software engineers get a huge amount of lever to be more efficient and provide better products faster. Software engineers will operate in a different way from Auffment.
In the not too distant future, we must also adapt to a completely new computer ecosystem, and those who will be able to do so are software engineers. We have already started investing in some companies that are preparing.
More in -depth specialization
The AI will also lead to a more in -depth specialization.
Today, software engineers are grouped a little more generally. Some work on hardware, some on different types of software languages, and some are excellent mobile developers.
The complexity of the type of roles you will see for software engineers will increase considerably, because the way in which this is implemented in different industries will require specialized objectives.
You will also see fewer general engineers and more people who are really good in a specific thing.
Software engineers will work closer with companies. The AI will allow business leaders to work better with engineering services because they can tinker with the first versions of the products themselves.
This should lead to greater efficiency in terms of technical and less technical operation of the company, and it should in fact give software engineering an even more important role in the company.

A new learning era
When we built Zalora and now in Antler, some of the best engineers we hired in Southeast Asia were self-taught.
They did not have universities in computer science. They read on the internet, tinkered and built their own programs.
The AI has made better than ever to teach people – as long as they have the right reader and the basic intrinsian to learn to become an excellent software engineer.
You will see many more self-assistance people who are as good as people who have made a full university degree.
