Software engineering is not “coding” though.

Before AI for the last 8 or so years now first at a startup then working in consulting mostly with companies new to AWS or they wanted a new implementation, it’s been:

1. Gather requirements

2. Do the design

3. Present the design and get approval and make sure I didn’t miss anything

4. Do the infrastructure as code to create the architecture and the deployment pipeline

5. Design the schema and write the code

6. Take it through UAT and often go back to #4 or #5

7. Move it into production

8. Monitoring and maintenance.

#4 and #5 can be done easily with AI for most run of the mill enterprise SaaS implementations especially if you have the luxury of starting from the ground up “post AI”. This is something you could farm off to mid level ticket takers
