Product Engineers > Software Engineers
The role of software engineers is about to undergo a transformation as no-code solutions, hyper-abstraction, and AI capable of building software reshape the industry. Approaching the era of AGI, traditional coding roles may diminish. Engineers must now become holistic problem solvers—product engineers. Future software engineers will have to do things differently: deal with stakeholders, design user interfaces, solutions architecture, deal with financial constraints, code (maybe?).
In a world where software engineers compete with product owners, designers and project managers - The day of software engineers is ending, the time of product engineers is upon us. The future belongs to those who can bridge the gap between technology and product.
