GenAI for Computing Careers: A Sunny Take
Much ink has been spilled discussing the career prospects for a CS graduate in the age of generative AI. While many predict a gloomy outlook, a more optimistic view is possible with determined action from educators and learners.
The skill of writing "simple" software modules is no longer useful, as it has been automated by general-purpose LLMs like ChatGPT or Gemini, and specialized software development tools like Cursor or Amazon's Code Whisperer.
A student may be tempted to skip the foundations of software programming and software engineering and go after the shiny toys like prompt engineering or LLM fine-tuning, but that would be a mistake if you want to build a meaningful, lasting career in the technology sector.
Author's summary: GenAI brings new opportunities for CS graduates with a solid foundation in software programming and engineering.
