This is starting to be an outdated way of thinking. A developer isn't just a "code typer." Writing code is one part of the job. Understanding the problem, deciding what to build, making tradeoffs, debugging, and maintaining the thing after it ships are all part of development. Even if AI writes 90% of the code, someone still has to know whether that code solves the right problem, fits the system, and will hold up beyond a demo. You can generate a lot of code without understanding any of it, but that becomes a problem when something breaks or the requirements change. If you're directing the work, understanding the output, and taking responsibility for what ships, you're still a developer. The workflow is changing, and the skills we emphasize will change with it. Counting who typed the most lines doesn't tell you much about who actually built the software.
