'AI Can Write The Code': Zuckerberg Says Meta's Midlevel Engineers – Earning Six Figures – May Soon Be Replaced

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg just dropped a bombshell for the tech world: AI could soon replace the work of midlevel software engineers – yes, the ones earning mid-six-figure salaries.

Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, as quoted by Business Insider, Zuckerberg said, "Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code."

Translation? The AI race is heating up and the days of coding as a high-paying, safe job might be numbered.

AI Is Taking Over

Zuckerberg painted a picture of a not-so-distant future where Meta's apps and their underlying AI would be built … by AI. Sure, it will cost Meta up front, but Zuck believes the move will pay off.

Currently, midlevel engineers at Meta earn big bucks – think mid-six figures. That kind of pay could soon be out of the question as AI takes the reins.

Zuckerberg isn't alone in this vision. Other tech giants are chasing similar goals and the implications for tech jobs are massive.

A Week Of Big Moves At Meta

This AI announcement is just one of the major changes Zuckerberg is rolling out at Meta. Earlier this week, he announced plans to ditch third-party fact-checkers in favor of "community notes," similar to what Elon Musk's X is doing.

Meta also plans to scale back its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. In a memo to staff, Meta's VP of HR, Janelle Gale, said, "We will no longer have a team focused on DEI."

Unsurprisingly, these moves are raising eyebrows. Fact-checking groups called the changes "a step backward," warning that Meta's hands-off approach could open the floodgates for misinformation.

What's Next For Meta?

For Zuckerberg, this is all about streamlining and adapting to the future. His bold push for AI-written code is part of a bigger trend reshaping tech.

As Zuckerberg told Rogan, "AI is going to be a game-changer for efficiency."

But for the engineers writing today's code, the message is clear: adapt fast or risk being left behind. This could be the start of a new era where AI doesn't just assist but takes over entirely.
