At AI-heavy companies, the engineers left are mostly QA-ing and debugging agents. Is that where Engineering careers are heading? (self.rails)<br>submitted 1 hour ago by Due-Dimension-982

Everywhere I look, and in most conversations I have with founders who are integrating AI into their daily workflows, I keep hearing the same thing. AI has automated almost everything, and the humans left are mostly proofreading the AI's output or testing it.

And with AI getting smarter every year, the obvious question is, will even the testing and proofreading be needed at some point? Maybe that's the future we are building. Or maybe that's exactly where the next wave of jobs comes...
