Hungarian debate asks what happens to programming as a profession in the age of AI agents
Hungarian commentator György Bőgel argues that with AI tools programming is no longer about writing code but about "conversing" with the machine, and asks whether work in software development will grow or shrink (Oct. 20). Other writers debate whether AI will take developers' jobs and what the profession loses with the enjoyment of programming.
Who is affected and how
- junior developer
- Alongside writing code, specification, review and checking AI output will become key skills.
- senior developer
- The engineering role shifts toward overseeing AI-generated code and toward architecture.
