Coders might be sitting on a goldmine | Future of Software Engineering is changing

#FutureOfSoftwareEngineering #AIandDevelopers #SoftwareEngineer2026 Link to the product: https://tinyurl.com/5y6ayna9 The role of a software engineer is changing faster than most people realize and most developers are completely unprepared for it. In this video, I break down exactly what's happening to the software engineering profession in 2026: what AI is actually replacing, what it's amplifying, and the specific skills that will separate the top 10% of engineers from everyone else over the next 3–5 years. I'm Parikh ex-SDE at Amazon, ex-founding member at Coding Ninjas. I've watched this shift from inside Big Tech, early-stage startups, and now ProPeers and this video is the honest, unfiltered take I wish someone had given me earlier. ✅ What you'll learn: 1. What AI tools are actually changing on the job (and what they're not) 2. The skills that are becoming more valuable — not less 3. Why "just knowing DSA" is no longer enough 4. How the best engineers are repositioning themselves right now 5. What hiring managers at top startups actually want in 2026 6. The mindset shift that separates engineers who thrive vs. those who get left behind 🕒 Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 00:50 - Entry Barrier to Code has reduced 02:50 - Spec Driven Development 04:01- Harness Engineering 05:24 - Token Optimisation 06:24 - AI Interviews 07:20 - Conclusion 📚 Resources mentioned: → GitHub Copilot: https://github.com/features/copilot → Levels.fyi (salary research): https://www.levels.fyi/ → Work at a YC Startup: https://www.workatastartup.com/ → Pragmatic Engineer Newsletter: https://newsletter.pragmaticengineer.... 🎯 All my resources in one place: https://parikh.club/mainpage 🤝 Connect with me: → LinkedIn:   / parikh-jain-79568798   → Instagram:   / parikhjain   📺 Watch these next: → How to get a $100K remote job at a YC startup from India: [link] → Top 5 Highest Pay Tech Skills:    • Top 5 HIGHEST PAYING Tech Skills in 2023 |...   → How I Would Learn To Code in 2026:    • How I Would Learn to Code in 2023? (if I c...   → Complete DSA 251 Roadmap:    • BEST ROADMAP for Data Structures And Algor...   Drop a comment: what's the #1 skill you think will matter most in the next 3 years?
