Is AI Replacing Software Developers? What the Data Actually Shows
Developer job postings are up 15% since AI coding tools took off. Here's what's actually happening to software development work.
I am developing a conversational home-assistant that can • control lights, switches, thermostats, climate systems, security cameras and other Home Assistant-compatible devices, • deliver real-time weather and news briefings, and • manage household schedules and reminders. To reach that goal I need an AI/ML engineer who has hands-on experience fine-tuning Large Language Models such as Gemma, Llama-2/3, Qwen or Mistral. You should be comfortable running LoRA or QLoRA pipelines on Hugging Face Transformers and PyTorch, preparing conversational JSONL datasets, and iterating quickly on prompt- and instruction-tuning strategies. Beyond raw fine-tuning, the model must: • handle tool / function calling so it can trigger Home Assistant APIs, • return structu...

AI coding tools invent packages that don't exist. Hackers register the names and load them with malware. Here's how to catch it first.
KPMG and Uber data show AI coding costs spiralling. Freelancer data shows what hiring a fixed-price developer actually costs instead.
