AI solutions that are almost right, but not quite;Debugging AI-generated code is more time-consuming
Not really, I only tend to use AI in two situations: 1. When there's something I don't know or understand and I want it to give me an explanation or overview of a concept or abstraction 2. When I fully understand something and the changes necessary and I instruct it to update the code and write exactly what I want I don't use it to write stuff I don't know or understand, I first like to understand how it should be implemented before letting it actually do its thing.

'- Having a full understanding on how an app is built and deployed - Understanding how observability and monitoring works, and how that can be used to improve the application - Knowing how to debug and being comfortable with debugging tools - Code consistency as I've experience the same AI model spitting out completely different code for roughly the same problem, which if taken at face-value can lead to a codebase that appears to have been written by dozens of different developers - Being comfortable in large codebases, as I can still see that AI has a hard-time understanding everything that is going on in large codebases, it usually can only work with a subset of the context of the application

AI solutions that are almost right, but not quite;Debugging AI-generated code is more time-consuming;I don’t use AI tools regularly;I’ve become less confident in my own problem-solving
No, I only use LLMs for generating documentation / comments and to ask how a certain concept/feature can be implemented. I also use it lightly for debugging. Though. I don't share the codebase with AI nor do I just copy and paste the prompts. In other words, I use it to generate boilerplate template codes as well as comments to speed up development.

I think that soft-skills such as collaboration skills, communication skills, reasoning ability/critical thinking, etc will still be immensely valuable as you still need to work with a team to find and make a cohesive and thorough decision. Additionally. knowledge of the framework or technology is still very useful as it is a transferable knowledge and can be used to learn other technologies faster or to mentor juniors, etc.

Debugging AI-generated code is more time-consuming;I’ve become less confident in my own problem-solving;Other (write in):
No, For time constraints yeah i used the AI to code at start. But after sometimes my coding & debugging skill are completely lost. Also most projects developed with AI lead to unmaintainable bad code. You could write very simple easy to read code on that place. In my point of view instead of "vibe coding", use AI to get data, make docs and do work that will not break your prod. "Vibe coding" will make development very bad. Instead of joy on code, sudden dopamine on debugging you will get tired on prompting again and again for an simple work. Also should learn from original docs for learning new stuff instead of prompting.

No. I don't even agree with that "vibe coding". When you write you also learn, that removes the learning part. It's troublesome even though it might "help" to focus on the concept than the code, that's not true. A lot of programming language has become more and more readable anyways.

Developers need to grow beyond technical skills. They will need to be able to orchestrate AI systems at a conceptual level to achieve business goals. For that, they will need to understand business goals and the global business climate, at least to some extent. Essentially, developers will need more C-suite level skills, although they will not replace the C-suite.
