Software engineers need new skills in the age of AI


AI is transforming software engineering, changing what software engineers do and the skills they need to succeed. A new survey from Uplevel, of over 100 senior engineering leaders at mid-to-large technology companies, looks at what they believe will be the most important skills for their teams.
It finds that validation of AI outputs and quality assurance (QA) is valued highest, cited by 66 percent of leaders, followed by performance monitoring and optimization (39 percent), and system architecture and integration skills (34 percent)
