alt Hacker NewsLet's be honest - they're also still hiring software devs. AI still requires skilled humans in the loop and that's not going away.

But the job itself may not exist in a year, according to the job posting page.

It's funny how they are at a disadvantage because they feel obligated to AI-max. Would Claude Code, as an interface, be as mediocre if they had software engineers writing its code directly? I doubt. On the other hand - how embarrassing would it be if they sold you a tool to write code but they were careful not to use it too much on their own products?

It is going away for non tech companies though.
Imagine you are a company that sells concrete. You have a web dev contractor you use to build and maintain your website. It has tools on it to get delivery quotes and a few internal tools to track orders.
Except now you can just have your sales team also maintain the website with a $20/month Claude subscription.
