Developer job postings rise despite AI coding automation

Original: AI is automating coding. So why are software developer job postings on the rise?

AI tools can now write much of the code that software developers produce, yet job postings for developers are growing rather than shrinking. The report highlights an apparent contradiction in the AI-labour debate: automation of coding tasks has not translated into fewer job opportunities. Observers are weighing whether companies are hiring for AI-adjacent skills, whether demand for software still outpaces automation, or whether the hiring data lags behind the technology's real impact on the profession.

Why now: People are debating whether AI will replace programmers, so data showing developer hiring rising cuts against the displacement narrative.
