A plumber with tools will eventually replace plumber without tools, but we will always need plumbers. AI will revolutionise IT but tend to overestimate the impact.
-
Only part of enterprise budget goes in greenfield projects. Trillions of lines of existing code will have no (or little) impact. We require humans to maintain the existing IT estate. Sure tooling is improving everything but patching existing code is not same as coding something ground up. Indian industry has major penetration here.
-
Software lifecycle is much bigger than coding/testing. The subjectivity of other phases require humans. You can have AI to find/fix technical defect but not say functional defects. Not anytime soon.
-
Coding/testing is much more than mere coding/testing. It is one thing to create 5 page web application, and another to write 500 page applications sitting on tons of existing systems. The architecture, the frameworks, the technology Infrastructure, there are tons of aspects, that humans decide.
I can go on and on. From web to mobility to cloud, Indian IT industry has only matured. This time may be different but not as different as we tend to believe.
