In March 2025, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had this to say about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on software development:
“My basic assumption is that each software engineer will just do much, much more for a while. And then at some point, yeah, maybe we do need less [sic] software engineers.”
He’s not alone in his perception. Microsoft, Meta, other big tech companies – and even small organizations – are rethinking their software development processes, evolving from traditional coding to AI-assisted frameworks. Though we still think there’s a place for human coders in the software development lifecycle, ethical organizations can accelerate delivery and the performance of coding teams with AI.
