For much of the 21st century, software development has been an attractive career option. Now, however, there are perceived threats on the horizon as new tools seem set to fill the software development skills gap.
Generative AI models are evolving quickly with the ability to generate functioning code from a few text prompts. Meanwhile, no-code and low-code tools and services — which offer people with minimal or even no development skills the ability to design and manipulate their own software applications — are becoming more sophisticated and widespread. Gartner predicted in 2021 that, by 2025, as much as 70% of new applications will be developed using low-code or no-code technologies.
Generally speaking, these technologies are more likely to augment how software development is done than completely displace this work, but their adoption could still see some unwelcome changes from the sector’s heyday.
Software developers may be expected to do more with less, and early-stage workers may be seen as less valuable and replaceable by anyone with basic skills who can leverage these new automations. Small companies with smaller budgets may even lean more on no-code tools and generative AI and be less likely to create new opportunities for developers.
