I counter the dramatic assertion that developer jobs are on the brink of obsolescence. I distinguish the roles of coders, who may face obsolescence due to their narrow focus on translating specifications into code, and software engineers, whose broad skill set in solving complex problems and innovating ensures their continued relevance. I argue that artificial intelligence and large language models augment rather than replace the human intellect, emphasizing that while app development and deployment methods may evolve, the necessity for software system maintenance and the efficiency of programming languages as a form of shorthand will keep developer roles indispensable. I argue that, despite technological advancements changing the landscape of app development, the core importance of the software engineer's role remains unchanged.
