Even if you are behind, have gaps in career, or starting from a different field, you can make it.
y = mx + c
Your c may even be -ve. But till the time your m2 > m1, you will catch up with your slower past life, given enough time, & then surpass it!
Keep working on yourself!
There’s a lot of fear-mongering right now about software engineers being replaced by AI founders and AI companies.
A massive amount of money is being invested in this space, and naturally, companies need a strong narrative to justify high valuations and keep the stock market excited.
Today a company laid off 40% of its workforce citing “AI efficiency,” and its stock jumped 24% in a single day. Later, after public backlash, the founder clarified that he had significantly overhired during the COVID boom and were simply correcting their workforce size.
Many of the mass layoffs we’re seeing today are not purely because of AI replacing engineers. Most of them is due to overhiring during COVID era.
Current AI systems are not capable of fully replacing software engineers. Yes, they can generate impressive code. But engineers are not hired just to write code.
Will AI eventually eliminate all software engineering jobs? I don’t know and I’m not qualified to make such a definitive prediction.
What seems more realistic is that AI may reduce the total number of engineers needed, because individual developers are becoming more productive with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc. Productivity gains don’t necessarily mean zero engineers; they may mean leaner teams.
No serious company today is going to give an AI full autonomy to make critical decisions and deploy directly to production without human oversight. The risk of technical, legal, financial, and reputational are too high.
It’s better not to get swept up in the fear amplified by X echo chamber. AI is a powerful tool, and it will reshape software engineering but reshaping is not the same as wiping it out.

I got upwards of 1k DMs and 3K apps for the jobs we posted.
But only one stuck out. That's for the SDE 2 position.
