System Design in AI Era
Hello, I just want to get some advice about this.
Do you think system design is more important now because of AI?
I’ve been thinking about this lately because AI can produce a lot of code in a short amount of time. Something that might take me a few days to build, AI can sometimes generate in minutes, and sometimes it even catches edge cases that I didn’t think about.
For the past 3 months, I’ve been using AI a lot when coding. Most of the time, I let it generate the code, then I read through it, understand what it’s doing, and validate if it actually makes sense and aligns with the product we’re building.
Because of this, I feel like my job is slowly becoming less about writing every line of code myself and more about knowing what should be built, how things should be designed, and whether the generated code is actually good or not.
Should we be focusing more on system design and architecture now?
PS. I asked AI to rephrase my post because I'm not a native English speaker.
Edit: Thanks guys, I think I won’t be guilty using AI now and will push forward to learn architecture and system design!
