Fundamental matters more in AI era

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become an inseparable part of the modern computing landscape. Software development is no exception. We’ve moved past the stage where AI only generates simple boilerplate; today, LLMs are capable of implementing complex logic and architecting entire applications. Naturally, this raises a pressing question for those of us in the industry: Is there a future for software developers, or are we being phased out? Shift is Real Some might argue that "no-code" movements have always tried to replace developers, only to fail because a professional is always eventually needed. However, the current shift feels different. This is the most significant paradigm shift I’ve witnessed since I started earning a living through code. Ignoring LLMs in favor of "pure" manual coding will soon lead to a dead end. But there is a flip side: if you simply rely on LLMs to write code while acting as a mere "code checker," you become easily replaceable. Two Paths Forward: Strategy in
