Is AI the end of software engineering or the next step in its evolution?

Somewhat decent article written by a programmer, Sheon Han.

I really appreciated this snippet:

The jury is still out on whether AI-assisted coding speeds up the job at all; at least one well-publicized study suggests it may be slower. I believe it. But I also believe that for AI to be a true exponent in the equation of productivity, we need a skill I’ll call a kind of mental circuit breaker: the ability to notice when you’ve slipped into mindless autopilot and snap out of it. The key is to use AI just enough to get past an obstacle and then toggle back to exercising your gray matter again. Otherwise, you’ll lose the kernel of understanding behind the task’s purpose.
