A man in one of my sessions typed a question into the chat. It said: do you think developers will be able to verify their own code with an AI agent, reducing or even eliminating the need for dedicated QA engineers?
Quality assurance, QA, is the half of building software that finds out whether the thing actually does what somebody said it would do. He was asking whether that half is about to stop being a job.
Nobody knows exactly what is going to happen next. I do not, and neither does anybody who sounds certain about it from a stage.
What I know is narrower than that. It took two years of using the thing to get it. Writing the code stopped being the expensive part of building software. Checking it did not.
