Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about which jobs AI might replace. But there’s far less discussion about something equally important: the new roles and responsibilities emerging because of AI.
There’s a growing debate about AI’s impact on work — some believe it’s redefining whole careers, while others say it’s overblown. But beneath the headlines, the shift appears far more complex, influencing not just programming but also writing, design, team workflows, and even how people learn on the job.
Since developers often experience these changes more directly than most, I wanted to ask something more specific:
How is AI affecting developer roles in particular?

There’s a growing debate about AI’s impact on work — some believe it’s redefining whole careers, while others say it’s overblown.

How is AI affecting developer roles in particular?
Some industries are being reshaped faster than others, and software development often feels like it’s at the center of this change.
I’m genuinely curious:
- Have AI tools noticeably changed the way you work?
- Are you seeing new responsibilities appear in your role?
- Do you feel like AI is replacing tasks — or entire positions?
- Are junior roles actually shrinking, or is that exaggerated?
- Which AI tools (if any) have become part of your daily workflow?
I’d love to hear real experiences from people inside the field — not just the headlines.
