AI is changing the developer job market in South Africa — but not in the way Twitter thinks.
In this Coffee Session I break down what's actually happening with AI and SA developers.I cover which developer roles are actually at risk, which skills are becoming more valuable, what AI can and can't do in a real dev workflow, and what you should be doing right now to stay relevant — whether you're junior, mid, or senior.
This isn't panic content. This is what I'm actually seeing as a working developer in South Africa.
