Dear Fernando Doglio,

I am currently Senior IT Developer/Engineer at Manufacturing Industrial sectors in Malaysia. I have to ask about Software Engineer. Many of the countries has vision 2025, 2035, and so on etc.

But software engineers are very interested in their own countries at today. Many researches found it too.

Where are the situations?

What is the future for Software developer in 10-20 years?

Thank you

Hi Noorul, thanks for the great question.
To be honest there is no easy way to answer it, since many thins can happeng in the next 10 - 15 years in our industry. The IT industry is changing constantly so predicting exactly what's going to be "big" within 10 years is the equivalent of having super powers.

That said, I'm a firm believer that Quantum computing is around the corner, which makes the next 10 years more than a probable scenario to have us working with q-bits instead of the usual bits we have to deal with right now.
What will that mean for our field? Hard to tell, but I'm sure it'll have a profound effect on it and it'll transform it drastically. I would even argue that with advances in Q-computing, there will be a small jump (we're talking about 10 - 15 years here) in AI as well, and seeing how we're now witnessing tools like Github Co-pilot helping us write code faster, we'll also see a shift in the type of work we do as developers.
I think we'll have to worry more about high-level tasks such as architecting a solution and less about writing low-level code like we are right now.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. What do you think? Where do you think our industry will be in the next 10 years?

Thank you for your suitable response. Q-bits are trends in technologies too.
