Exploring AI’s Future in Software Engineering
Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly, yet it faces challenges in tackling complex software systems. Here’s what you need to know:
-
Key Achievements:
- Claude Code excels in project creation.
- OpenAI won a gold medal at the 2025 International Olympiad in Informatics.
-
Challenges Ahead:
- AI struggles with large codebases and distributed systems.
- Real-world software engineering resembles a complex strategy game like StarCraft 2, involving collaboration and intuition.
-
Two Difficulty Axes:
- Smart vs. Knowledgeable: Programming involves theoretical strategies while software engineering deals with messy realities like buggy code and system outages.
- Observability: Understanding the state of a complex program is akin to navigating the “fog of war” in gaming.
If we aim to develop AI that truly understands and resolves intricate problems, the journey starts here.
