It's a good question. When I recognized that coding became less of a differentiator when ChatGPT became a thing in 2023, I began pivoting away gradually into providing value in areas where AI is considered a tool rather than a replacer. Do I use AI today? Yes, I do. Can AI do what I do right now? No, very far from it. Cloud security and architecture require understanding of trade offs and risks. Many engineers I know, who are still working as Devs in big tech companies, are no longer doing typical type of work Devs used to do in the past. Most of them are maintaining legacy systems that are too fragile for AI to touch.
