AI Replacing Software Engineers

the people who are saying ai can basically replace software engineers: 1. people who aren’t software engineers 2. software engineers who have only worked on trivial problems 3. charlatans and attention-mongers it’s the self-driving car in about 2010. Anecdotally, using cursor has been an insane unlock (shout out to my claude boys) But think it most benefits those who understand semantics but not syntax. Ie. technical folks without SME in languages / frameworks ...

A screenshot of a social media post arguing that claims AI can replace software engineers often come from non-engineers, engineers with limited experience, or attention-seekers. It compares the hype to self-driving cars around 2010, while a reply says that Cursor particularly helps technically skilled people who understand concepts but lack deep expertise in specific programming languages or frameworks. The meme is used to react sarcastically to exaggerated AI-replacement claims.
