How AI Is Rewriting the Future of Software Engineers

Hi HN, I'm the author.

As a Senior Frontend Developer, I've seen a lot of anxiety and excitement among my peers about AI's impact on our jobs (Copilot, etc.). It's clear the job description is being rewritten.

I decided to move past the simple "AI will/won't replace us" debate and write a structured analysis of how the skills are shifting—from 'implementation' to 'orchestration'.

I'm here to discuss. Curious to hear what this community thinks!
