Is Software Engineering Still Worth It in 2025? The Role of AI in Coding & Development

AI is revolutionizing the software engineering field, but is it replacing developers? As AI continues to write code, build websites, and fix bugs, many are questioning if it's still a good idea to become a software engineer in 2025. My name is Anto, and I am an experienced software engineer with nearly two decades of expertise. Dive into this pressing question.

➡️Key Takeaways from this Video:
☑️How AI enhances software development rather than replacing developers.
☑️The areas AI struggles with and why human developers are still irreplaceable.
☑️The evolution of software engineering roles and the importance of human collaboration.
☑️How AI can help you become a 10x engineer, accelerate learning, and boost productivity.
☑️Why software engineering remains a solid career choice in the AI-powered future.

I explain the key skills aspiring software engineers should focus on to thrive in a world where AI tools are co-pilots, not replacements. AI is an incredible accelerator for developers, but understanding business requirements, writing maintainable code, and thinking holistically about systems will always require a human touch.

👉 3 Things You Should Do:
☑️ Embrace AI as a co-pilot to accelerate learning and brainstorming.
☑️ Focus on writing maintainable, readable, and consistent code.
☑️ Understand the bigger picture and the entire system when building software.

👉 3 Things You Should Avoid:
❌ Relying solely on AI for business problem-solving without considering the unique needs of the business.
❌ Ignoring human collaboration and thinking you can work alone.
❌ Letting AI generate code without reviewing it for consistency, readability, and maintainability.
