AI is transforming how software engineers do their jobs. Just don’t call it ‘vibe-coding’

AI coding assistants are rapidly transforming software development by handling routine programming tasks while engineers focus on high-level problem-solving, with companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google fiercely competing to build the best tools. While these AI systems can now solve 72% of coding problems compared to just 4% a year ago, experts say they enhance rather than replace skilled programmers, though entry-level job opportunities may be declining.
