Knowledge of the domain and of colleagues from other departments, along with strong communication and collaboration skills, will remain crucial. While AI typically responds to what it's asked, true value often lies in questioning the underlying assumptions or reframing the problem itself.

Coding in general will still need to be a human process, if assisted by AI tools. Writing accurate requirements is nearly impossible when you have humans to challenge and interpret those requirements, AIs can't do that.

The problems we now solve by writing code ourselves can be solved by having an AI that writes code. Code is a tool to an end: providing a service, learning new stuff about real world, making decisions. We use code (and will use AI in five years) to make decisions, but making decisions will ultimately be down to humans

When I don’t trust AI’s answers;When I want to learn best practices
|
I hardly think AI tools would become better as problem-solving overall. Developing is a complex task involving more than just "thinking", which no AI does at the time. AI can help in generating code, but it doesn't think about it in the same way, nor does it see the big picture or much wonder about customer satisfaction.

When I don’t trust AI’s answers;When I want to fully understand something
|
There will likely be more demand for architects, that understand the entire code base. AI is good at creating small code routines, but not so good in creating larger, complex models. I'm anticipating that object-oriented design really benefits from AI, since AI can generate all the code pieces - a human just has to connect them properly.
