Thanks for summing it up! I get the point of the article a bit more clearly now.
I wonder if “AI engineer” isn’t kind of superfluous in that case? It’s essentially just the new normal for software developers/engineers. Another API or tool to interact with to produce whatever product we’re building. Where does the specialist competencies come in, besides having a more intimate knowledge of the APIs and basic understand of how this tech works?
I wonder of this will also apply to npm then. I have a package that uses private packages which requires a personal access token to be present in env. Would make for nicer DX in our case.
