Ask HN: Are there any CS niches safe from AI?
I'll be graduating with a SWE degree soon and the thought of spending my career reviewing AI code just seems both awful and unsustainable.
Programming has been fun because it is difficult. It required skill which is continously grown by the act of writing more code.
Using code gen is boring, doesn't require much skill, and tends to atrophy your understanding of the subject.
Does anyone have any experience with nearby niches to software engineering which might have some inherent property that makes AI code gen not possible? OS development? Embedded? Computer Architecture? Something I've never heard of?
If possible, I'd like to pivot while I'm still young.
