Episode 9 – Can ChatGPT Replace Software Engineers?

In this episode, Mark and producer Rikko are joined by Dr. Joel Schuessler, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Concordia University St. Paul (CSP), to tackle the big career question shaking up tech: can you still make a living coding when AI now writes roughly 25% of U.S. code at companies like Microsoft and Alphabet? A new Pew Research Center survey shows nearly half of Americans think software engineering will be among the jobs most disrupted by AI — even more than teaching or journalism. Tune in for a candid, lively conversation about what these trends mean for students, developers, and the future of coding itself.
