Pentester Expresses Concerns About AI's Impact on Secure Coding

A pentester with several years of experience expresses concern about AI’s growing ability to detect vulnerabilities in code reviews, which were previously a key part of their work. They note that while AI still struggles with logic flaws requiring business context, its improvement raises doubts about the long-term value of focusing on low-level secure coding. The poster questions whether to shift toward higher-level tasks like architecture or threat modeling, or pivot to more hands-on roles like sysadmin or network infrastructure. They seek input from others facing similar uncertainties.
