AI is rapidly changing the way we work, creating a new generation of
professionals who can make a real difference. According to Andrew Ng, a
leading AI expert and founder of DeepLearning.AI, we can expect to see
many more high-impact roles emerge across various industries, all thanks
to AI.
In software development, AI-assisted coding is rapidly gaining traction. Here's a snapshot of key milestones:
- 2021: Introduction of GitHub Copilot in June, marking a significant advancement in AI coding assistance.
- 2022: General availability of GitHub Copilot in June.
- 2024: WindSurf and Cursor emerge as powerful AI-assisted coding tools, combining advanced features and gaining popularity among developers.
- Late 2024: Senior developers report a 20% boost in efficiency with AI coding tools;
- March 2025: A GitHub survey reveals that 97% of developers are utilizing AI coding tools at work; Google CEO Sundar Pichai discloses that over 25% of new code at Google is AI-generated;
- 2027 Projections: Anticipated AI-driven code to constitute up to 80%; majority of development tasks managed by AI; 80% of the engineering workforce expected to upskill for effective AI tool utilization;
Emergence of the "AI engineer" role blending software development, data science, and ML expertise.
Vibe coding is an emerging concept in software development where non-programmers can create software using AI assistants, allowing them to describe what they want in everyday language and have the AI generate the code. This approach has a dual impact, potentially creating a false impression that professional developers are no longer needed while also empowering non-technical individuals to quickly build working prototypes and turn ideas into reality.
For developers and tech enthusiasts, mastering the "language of software" is imperative, encompassing not just coding proficiency but also the ability to effectively collaborate with and guide AI systems.
CTOs can facilitate team adaptation by:
- Emphasizing AI education and upskilling.
- Establishing secure AI development environments.
- Implementing human-in-the-loop development
As we navigate this AI revolution, staying adaptable and continuously learning will be key in any field. The rapid advancement of AI in coding is just one example of how AI is enhancing professional capabilities across industries.

Mise à jour 05/05/2023 : Le COVID aura tué ma motivation d’essayer de relancer ce meetup. Peut-être que d’autres le feront. ---- Tout d’abord, bonne année 2020. Je me suis investi ces dernières années dans les communautés/événements CARA Lyon, MiXiTConf, LyonDataScience et CaféDevOps sur Lyon, France. Ces activités m’ont permis de comprendre les experts de ces domaines, d’apprendre quelques notions fondamentales à travers leurs exposés et d’améliorer mes capacités d’échange avec eux. Product Manager depuis plus de 5 ans, je désire améliorer mes réflexes et compétences dans mon domaine. Le faire à travers des rencontres/meetup est ce que je préfère et j’aimerais retrouver la stimulation des communautés dans cette discipline. En cette année 2020, quelques Product Manager lyonnais, lançons, le meetup ProductTankLyon à Lyon, France. Le réseau ProductTank compte plus de 150 meetups dans le monde et profite des conférences, blog et podcast MindTheProduct. Ins...
