Right now, AI writes small blocks of code but it generally is terrible at writing optimized code. I don't know how quickly it will advance to be useful before something else is the next big thing.

It's good for working with docs, creating things, etc that all have lots of examples to train it with.

One of the huge issues right now is data privacy with the models. Do you want to turn it loose on your coding, data, etc? You lose control of it then or you have to create your own to keep everything private.



The best way I see to do it is to understand the why, where, when, how of solving the problem. Coding is using a language or a tool to do something that delivers to the requirements. If you understand how to talk to non-technical people, understand their requirements, put that into technical requirements, and then deliver it, you won't be replaced by AI for a long time.

I look for developers with a brain who can think, they don't need to know every little aspect of the coding language. If they know what they need to do, they can quickly come up to speed on how to do it in a new language. You can't fix stupid and I don't want to have to write everything I want done in very low-level details that I could just do it myself.

I don't know what I would recommend for school or just getting certs. Certs don't mean anything if you don't know why you are doing something. Schools may not have enough hands-on experience. Certs won't get the connections for jobs you may get from schools. So I see the advantages of both.

The areas that seem like they will be around for a while are security, cloud (no one is using there own servers), AI, Data Analytics (AI is starting to make progress here but understanding how data relates is still needed).
