Which developer roles do you think are least impacted ?

I keep hearing from some product managers, business analysts, and QAs that developers will be the first group heavily impacted by AI. 😄

​

What do you think? Which developer roles are likely to be less affected?

​

My view is that developers with strong business domain knowledge along with solid technical skills will continue to be valuable. Understanding complex business processes, making architecture decisions, and solving domain-specific problems seems much harder to replace than just writing code.

​

I've also noticed that people working on niche or highly specialized products, where knowledge is concentrated within a small group, seem relatively safer too—although I don't think that's a healthy or professional way to create job security.

​

What's your take? Which developer roles do you think are the most AI-resistant over the next 5–10 years, and why?
