A few years ago, knowing a framework, language, or architecture pattern could set someone apart.
Today, AI can generate code, explain concepts, write tests, debug errors, and even scaffold entire applications in minutes.
So here's the question:
What skills do you think will matter most for developers over the next 5 years?
Will it be:
System design?
Product thinking?
Communication?
Domain expertise?
AI orchestration?
Something else entirely?
It feels like the definition of "software developer" is evolving faster than ever, and everyone seems to have a different perspective.
Curious to hear what the community thinks:
What skill are you investing in right now that you believe will remain valuable regardless of how capable AI becomes?
