Is AI ending Software Engineering or Evolving it

A friend recently asked me, “Won’t you lose your job to AI?” He’s been experimenting with AI tools and genuinely wondered if coding careers might disappear. It made me reflect that this isn’t the first time the world has asked such questions.

When electronic calculators became widely available, people said:
📉 “Mathematicians will become obsolete.”
🤷 “Why learn math when a machine can do it?”

Sounds too familiar, right?

What actually happened was the opposite: mathematics advanced. Calculators freed up human minds to explore deeper theoretical concepts. This led to the rise of data analysis, numerical methods, computational math, and yes, even machine learning. So is AI replacing software engineers?

No, but it’s transforming the way we work. Like mathematicians then, we need to adapt, not resist in order to stay relevant.

In that spirit of staying relevant, I recently built a simple financial RAG chatbot LLM pipeline using: LangFlow, AstraDB, and GPT-4o-mini

P.S. If anyone knows a way to deploy this free of cost for public showcasing, I’d appreciate your guidance!
