Exactly these people will be experts at typing this:

“ Claude! what should the system do when two users update the same record as the same time, explain to me with full clarity”

or "Claude! how should the system behave when a message in the queue cannot be processed? Give me all the possible ways ranked from best to worst, also explain to me all these concepts so I can understand as I don’t have a cs degree".

If you think that there is no future where software engineers don’t matter then you are delusional. While the future is not set in stone the pace and trendline of AI point to this future as a MORE realistic future then the alternative.

Your example btw is ALREADY a solved problem. AI can answer it and design around it. Agents at my company already handle our infra.

This isn't even the right question to ask, I think you've basically proved my point. You are in charge of deciding what the system should do when two users update a record at the same time. It's extremely dependent on what you're trying to do.

What's the one-size-fit-all solution for concurrency management that works for every single domain and application? I'm curious.

Who's going to make this decision? The CEO?

It’s your example. I simply took your example and asked Claude. If it’s not the right question then don’t give it out as an example.

> What's the one-size-fit-all solution for concurrency management that works for every single domain and application? I'm curious.

I’m curious how your brain concocted I said that. Examine the context of our conversation. What I mean there is that AI can solve those questions for every possible domain application.

> Who's going to make this decision? The CEO?

Armed with Claude any non technical person can make this decision.

Knowing the right question to ask is what makes a person an engineer.

Yes, if you know what to ask. You're doing an excellent job of demonstrating my point!

> Armed with Claude any non technical person can make this decision.

You just disproved that by asking the wrong question. Much like you, the CEO won't even know what to ask an AI.

		>Knowing the right question to ask is what makes a person an engineer. Yes, but this is orthogonal to the point and that is: AI can do it too. >Yes, if you know what to ask. You're doing an excellent job of demonstrating my point! No it's your comprehension that needs work. You are missing MY point while being repeatedly getting enamored with your own point. My point is that AI KNOWS the questions. >You just disproved that by asking the wrong question. Much like you, the CEO won't even know what to ask an AI. I didn't ask a single question bro. I only regurgitated your examples. Much like AI, half your statements are based off of hallucinations.
