The arrival of Claude 3.7 is the clearest indicator yet of artificial intelligence’s rapid encroachment into software development. Junior and lower-skilled developer roles, already under pressure, face an even steeper decline. Demand is shifting towards, senior, systems-oriented positions that focus on AI governance, system designs, and security oversight.In October 2024, Google CEO Sundar Pichai stated that “more than a quarter of the new code at Google was generated by AI, then verified and accepted by engineers." Meanwhile, a GitHub survey revealed that over 97% of developers across four countries had integrated AI coding assistants into their workflow. A Pluralsight survey said approximately 75% of IT professionals expressed concern about AI potentially rendering their skills obsolete.
