Why technology can change this work

  • tools automate data preparation, experiments and parts of modelling
  • AI agents already create routine functions, tests, migrations and documentation
  • code, configuration and documentation are already digital
  • routine code, tests and technical text can be generated automatically
  • many outputs can be checked with tests and static analysis

What protects the occupation

  • choosing the right objective, data and model-quality criteria
  • understanding architecture and the consequences of changing a live system
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • architecture decisions and production accountability
  • understanding business constraints and legacy systems
  • security and complex system integration
