The New Job of a Software Engineer (It's Not Writing Code)
Try Air in JetBrains IDEs: https://jb.gg/uf1rym
Google says about 75% of its new code is AI-generated. Anthropic says more than 90% of its code is written by Claude Code. So why are US software engineering job postings up about 18% compared to this time last year? Because the job itself has changed, and writing code is now a very small part of it.
In this video I break down what software engineers actually spend their time doing in 2026, which skills matter far more than they used to, and exactly what you should be practicing if you want to be good at this job over the next few years.
