Title: The Software Engineering 'Squeeze'

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/07/04/1852...

Software developer Anton Zaides argues that software engineers have had it
easy over the decades and the "best profession" on earth deserved the wake up
call. He writes:It's not just one of the hardest times, it's also one of the
most exciting. I'm hugely optimistic about the software engineering career.
All those companies started by vibe-coders all around you? Many will succeed,
and will need great engineers to scale up. Some engineers understand this,
and use the chance to skill up. To succeed, you'll probably need all the
skills of an engineer, some of a PM, and even a bit of design taste. It's not
just about shipping code anymore. But if you work as a code monkey, getting
detailed tickets and just shipping them, you've done this to yourself. You
won't be needed pretty soon. I believe there are too many mediocre engineers,
but also not enough great ones.
