AI is raising the floor but software engineers are raising the ceiling ! Let’s make sure that we need to raise with the floor and keep raising the ceiling.
55% of programmers are using AI for coding. So the remaining are in danger. Out of 55 % , 30% are using it as it comes trusting the AI. They are in bigger danger.
AI can create a dating App but not a date.
Software Engineers are Orchestrator’s now with AI as their capabilities
Future of Programming is natural language. - Gitgub CEO
AI does not understand all the why behind all the work we ask it to do.
It needs human input to get the context and scenarios.
AI is not reliable.
AI is struggling to communicate and collaborate with Human being.
We need to make AI better and get better with AI.
Software Engineer are no more programmer they are builder of future intelligence.
Human need to train, supervise and direct AI . We need to remove barrier, open doors for AI …
I have a far better driver then I drive, However my wife always calls me to go anywhere she wants to go. We we need to raise ourselves with AI.
Go full-stack across discipline. Think like an architect.
Embres AI do not hate it. It is a creative partner and everybody’s assistance.
Learn LLM, Generative AI, Model Finetuning, RAG,
Discuss our project with AI and deligate to AI
AI can be a programmer, Let’s take the Visionary title who can define meaningful problems. Bridge builder who can connect tools and teams. Leaders who leads not just human but also AI.
Fast coder days are gone. We need to think deeply and adopt quickly , collaborate efficiently.
Tools will change but principle lasts. Stay adoptable.
==========Speech Version ===========
Madam/Mister Toastmaster, fellow Toastmasters, and future architects of intelligence…
Let me begin with a confession.
I have a far better driver than myself.
It never gets tired.
It calculates routes faster than I can blink.
It avoids traffic better than my instincts.
Yet whenever my wife wants to go somewhere…
she still calls me to drive.
Why? Because sometimes, what you need is not a perfect machine,
but a trusted Man beside you.And that, my friends, is exactly where we stand today with Artificial Intelligence.
Today, 55% of programmers are already using AI to write code.
Which means something interesting…
The other 45% are in danger.
But wait… the story gets even more interesting.
Out of that 55%, almost 30% simply copy whatever AI generates and trust it blindly.
They are in even bigger danger.
Because trusting AI blindly is like asking GPS to take you to heaven…
and ending up in the middle of a lake.
Here is the truth.
AI is raising the floor.
But software engineers must raise the ceiling.
AI can help everyone reach a basic level of capability.
But true engineers?
True builders?
They push the limits.
They stretch the possibilities.
They raise the ceiling of what humanity can achieve.
So our job is simple.
Rise with the floor…
and keep raising the ceiling.
Now people often ask me,
“Will AI replace programmers?”
Let me answer with a simple example.
AI can create a dating app.
But AI cannot create a date.
AI can generate code.
But it cannot generate chemistry, trust, or understanding.
Because AI does not truly understand why we do the work we do.
It predicts patterns.
It doesn’t understand purpose.
The CEO of GitHub once said:
“The future of programming is natural language.”
Imagine that.
Instead of writing hundreds of lines of code, we simply describe what we want.
And AI builds it.
Which means something powerful.
Software engineers are no longer just programmers.
We are becoming orchestrators.
We are the conductors of an orchestra where AI plays the instruments.
AI writes functions.
AI drafts code.
AI suggests solutions.
But humans design the symphony.
Because here is another reality.
AI is not reliable.
Sometimes it is brilliant.
Sometimes it is confidently wrong.
AI struggles to understand context.
AI struggles to collaborate with humans.
AI struggles with the deeper “why” behind problems.
Which is why AI still needs something very powerful.
Us.
Humans must train it.
Supervise it.
Direct it.
We must remove barriers and open doors for AI…
But we must also guide it with wisdom.
The role of the software engineer is evolving.
We are no longer just coders.
We are builders of future intelligence.
We must go full-stack across disciplines.
Think like architects.
Design like visionaries.
Learn new capabilities:
Large Language Models.
Generative AI.
Model fine-tuning.
RAG systems.
And more importantly…
Discuss problems with AI.
Delegate tasks to AI.
Collaborate with AI.
Not as a replacement.
But as a creative partner.
Some people hate AI.
They fear it.
They resist it.
But history teaches us something.
When electricity arrived…
some people feared it.
When computers arrived…
some people rejected them.
And today?
We cannot imagine life without them.
AI is not our enemy.
AI is everyone’s assistant.
But there is a catch.
The days of the fast coder are slowly fading.
The future belongs to those who:
Think deeply.
Adapt quickly.
Collaborate intelligently.
AI can be a programmer.
But humans must become something greater.
We must become:
Visionaries who define meaningful problems.
Bridge builders who connect tools and teams.
Leaders who guide not just humans… but AI itself.
Because tools will change.
Languages will change.
Platforms will change.
But principles?
Principles last forever.
Curiosity.
Creativity.
Critical thinking.
And above all…
Adaptability.
So my friends, the future is not Human vs AI.
The future is Human + AI.
AI will raise the floor.
But it is our responsibility to keep raising the ceiling.
To dream bigger.
To think deeper.
To build wiser.
And to drive the future…
Just like I still drive the car when my wife calls me.
Because sometimes the most advanced machine in the world…
Still needs a human behind the wheel.
