    The End of Coding? Staff Engineer Reacts to AI Hype @engintheloop

    Software engineering is dead. At least that’s what YouTube, Twitter, and every AI doomer headline wants you to believe.    In this episode of the Tech Jobber Podcast, I sit down with Staff Software Engineer RJ Robinson to break down what’s actually happening inside engineering teams as AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and coding agents become mainstream. Is AI replacing software engineers?   Are junior developers in trouble?   What is “vibe coding” — and is it a real threat to professional engineers?   And what skills will actually matter over the next 24 months?   RJ has over a decade of experience in software engineering and tech hiring, and he shares a real-world perspective on: The rise of coding agents and AI-assisted development   Why rebuilding something like monday.com with AI in an hour is pure hype   What entry-level engineers must learn now   Why fundamentals and systems design matter more than ever   AI security vulnerabilities (40%+ of AI-generated code has issues)   Claude vs ChatGPT vs other AI tools   How AI is changing engineering interviews   The coming surge in AI compliance, ethics, and regulatory roles   Why AI engineers will be needed in every industry   What technologies (Ruby, Python, TypeScript, React) still matter   The real future of AI + software engineering careers   We also discuss: Coding interviews in the age of AI   How senior engineers are using Claude and AI agents daily   The productivity explosion happening right now   Why cheap tokens and faster feedback loops will change development   Why early-career engineers risk losing core fundamentals   AI ethics, compliance, and SOC 2 demand   Whether small businesses will start hiring “AI engineers”   If you’re: A software engineer worried about job security   A bootcamp grad wondering what to focus on   A junior developer trying to stand out   A tech professional thinking about pivoting into AI   Or someone asking, “Is software engineering still worth it?”   This episode will give you clarity.   AI isn’t killing software engineering.   But it is changing it.   And the engineers who adapt will be more valuable than ever.   🔔 Subscribe for weekly deep dives into tech careers, software engineering, cloud, AI, cybersecurity, fintech, and high-paying roles in tech. 📺 Check out RJ’s AI Engineering Brief channel here: [‪@EngInTheLoop‬] 💼 Connect with RJ on LinkedIn: [ 📷 / robert-j-robinson  ] Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
