The Impact of AI on Software Development: Insights from 20+ Years in the Industry
Is AI making software development cheaper? The answer isn’t what you might think.
Over two decades of experience reveals:
- Increased Productivity: Tasks that took 3–4 hours now take just 1–2. But clients aren’t paying more; they’re demanding more.
- Wider Project Scopes: Instead of limiting features, clients can now maximize functionality within the same budget.
- Productivity Gap: Experienced developers leverage AI for tremendous gains (up to 20x), while inexperienced ones may struggle, introducing more bugs instead of fewer.
Challenges Ahead:
Junior developers face a shrinking market for routine tasks as AI takes over, raising questions about career advancement in software engineering.
While AI simplifies some tasks, it raises the bar for quality and complexity in development.
