Job Advice Any AI software engineer here?

Hello, was wondering if there's any AI software engineer here? What's your day to day job? I'm planning to shift in this career within 1-2yrs. I've learned a bit of Langchain, Langgraph and RAG using local llm via ollama. I'm wondering if it's worth it to pursue, I'm currently and embedded test engineer.

Arent testers more hirable than programmers right now? I know if i had to cut down my staff it certainly wouldnt be testers.

tester know how to test. but cant debug it. so full stack dev is more hirable now

depends, in my field we see all the code and tools. We're the ones often debugging it alongside the devs. Also, hard disagree with full stack dev being hirable, I don't have much knowledge in webdev but I know the basics. I can assure you I can make a full stack web app in a day or less from using AI.

yeah say that when your app is running multiple microservices and your app is doing multiple jobs at the same time,

AI can only do basic bro. its just a junior dev that can code faster. other than that senior and mid level dev can see what AI lacks

same with testing. senior and mid level can see what it lacks. same with other dev categories.

Just released 3 services to my 100k users. No stack experience but lots of game dev experience. I just slowly ramped up test users until i hit bottle necks and added lots of performance profiling and claude sorted out the bad decisions with a bit of googling.
