AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, o3, o4, and Codex are changing the landscape of software development.
Developers not leveraging AI tools are being outpaced by those who do, leading to increased efficiency and cost-effectiveness in development tasks.
The focus is shifting from manual coding tasks to higher-level responsibilities like architecture, strategy, and value delivery, where human creativity and decision-making are essential.
The future of skilled developers lies in their ability to collaborate with AI, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver results faster, highlighting the importance of evolving with technology.
