I remember that project from the bank where I was working for last year. A distributed services for reconciliation of financial data and was composed of 3 microservices and each microservice involves 2 engineers. The project involved 6 engineers. We were engineers that time, software solutions engineers.

We finished that in 6 months time and that is 12 sprints (1 sprint in our organization is 2 weeks).

Now, if I will redo that project alone and me being an AI Engineer and not a software solutions engineer anymore, I can finish that project in 3 to 4 sprints only and alone 😆.

Also there was this Indian guy who was a deep specialist in the company's proprietary technology stack and he has to maintain power of his position and value in the company so he navigated the office politics in a way that Filipino engineers will always be under his feet. Such is made possible by deep specialty in humans. His only weakness was logic so he makes mistakes on analysis and that gap I filled up so the team can deliver and get thru walls.

AI has made deep specialization of humans obsolete. The same reason why I realized I had to ditch the traditional BSEE degree studies here in PH 😆.
