In the AI era: what happens to Software developer

Mixed

Jawatan jurutera perisian tidak akan dihapuskan AI, tetapi kerja pengekodan dan ujian peringkat awal akan berkurang ketara; pembangun yang mahir menggunakan alat AI akan meningkat produktiviti dan daya saing, membentuk polarisasi.

🤖 AI already replacing this job (tools / products / research / news)

GitHub Copilot Tool Partial 2021

Menggantikan sebahagian kerja pengekodan jurutera perisian, seperti penjanaan automatik kod berulang, templat fungsi, ujian unit, tetapi memerlukan semakan dan penyahpepijatan manual.

Entry-level outlook

Pekerjaan peringkat permulaan seperti pengekodan asas, ujian unit, pembaikan bug mudah digantikan AI, permintaan jurutera junior berkurang; tetapi pemahaman perniagaan, reka bentuk sistem, penyahpepijatan kompleks tidak menurunkan ambang, malah memerlukan asas yang lebih kukuh.

🚀 How to level up in the AI era

Beralih daripada pengkod tulen kepada jurutera 'AI+penuh timbunan': menguasai rantaian alat AI secara mendalam, mengintegrasikan AI ke dalam saluran paip pembangunan; pada masa sama mengukuhkan reka bentuk sistem, pengetahuan domain dan kemahiran lembut untuk menjadi 'arkitek dipertingkat AI' yang boleh mentakrif masalah dan mereka bentuk penyelesaian.

FAQ

What is the salary of software developers?

Junior: approx. $70,000-95,000, mid-level: $95,000-130,000, senior: $130,000-180,000. Salaries are higher at major tech companies or in high-cost areas, e.g., Bay Area can exceed $200,000.

How to get a green card through H-1B?

Typically, the employer first applies for an H-1B work visa, then applies for an EB-2 or EB-3 green card through PERM labour certification; the entire process takes 3-5 years.

Can I become a software developer without a computer science degree?

Yes, many developers transition through coding bootcamps or self-study, but a degree helps with resume screening and obtaining an H-1B visa.
