Mark Zuckerberg Predicts AI Will Reshape Coding Forever in 2025
The end of software engineers?
Just a few days ago, Mark Zuckerberg said the following: "Probably in 2025, we at Meta are going to have an AI that can effectively function as a mid-level engineer that can write code. Over time a lot of the code in our apps will be built by AI engineers instead of people engineers."
The entire software industry is transforming before our eyes—not just the software being built, but also how it’s being built. A few weeks ago, Satya Nadella stated that applications will essentially evolve into agents, and now we’re hearing directly from Mark Zuckerberg that by 2025, they expect to have what is essentially a software engineer writing code for them. This claim is reasonable, considering that Meta has access to significant resources, both financial and in terms of GPU power, allowing them to effectively scale their team with AI-powered mid-level engineers.

It’s worth noting that similar predictions have been made before. For example, …
