There are many levels to engineering; some are in the weeds, handling the nits and grits, while others are guiding the vision and architecture from the hills.
Some people are still stuck thinking unless they are in the belly of the beast, they are not engineering. They couldn’t be more wrong.
AI did not change any of this. It is a new kind of workforce at the nits & grits level. Folks are interested in pushing it up higher but hasn’t happened yet.
