Programming in an AI world - our thoughts at Deliver on software development in 2026:
"The general feeling in the software world in 2026 is that AI will radically transform the job description of the programmer into something more of a guide than a doer - that's if they're needed at all. The promise is of a complete software solution generated within a few prompts, resulting in a quality product that matches you or your client's vision, and all of it delivered within minutes.
And it's mostly true, this is more or less becoming a reality. You can get a project to 90% in a very short period of time using AI. But one thing that's not talked about as often is the tools that have long existed within software development, especially for the web, but increasingly for mobile applications too, that get you to that 90% point at a comparable rate to AI."
