AI-Native Developers: The New Divide in Software Engineering
AI-native development is creating a paradox: soaring demand for AI engineers, and unemployment for traditional CS graduates. Businesses want developers skilled in prompting, RAG, evals, and agentic workflows—yet most universities still teach 2022-style coding. The best engineers today pair computer science fundamentals with cutting-edge AI fluency. Like the shift from punchcards to terminals, AI-native coding is becoming the new baseline. Those who adapt will thrive. Those who don’t risk obsolescence.
