In today's world, it's not just enough to be a good programmer, you need to be a great problem solver that uses their creativity to come up with unique solutions that machines can't replicate

I thought you were going to go in different direction with your comment.

... problem solver that uses their creativity and all most modern AI tools in clever ways.

I dunno, it depends what you are building. The creative problem solving part is about 5% of a typical programming job. The rest is gluing together existing libraries, boilerplate, using Google, and people stuff.

That's an interesting direction but I think using AI tools is going to be for everyone, not just developers. And How good you are at using them is not going to guarantee that AI can't replace what you do.

While it's true that not every programming job requires extensive creativity, problem-solving skills are still essential for developers to succeed in their careers. Programming is not just about writing code; it's also about finding the most efficient and effective ways to solve problems.

Moreover, the demand for problem-solving skills is only going to increase as AI-powered development tools become more advanced. These tools are great for certain tasks, but they lack the human creativity and intuition that can lead to unique and innovative solutions. As a result, developers who can think creatively and solve problems efficiently will always be in high demand, no matter what type of programming job they're working on.

So, while the "gluing together" and "people stuff" parts of programming are undoubtedly important, let's not overlook the critical role that problem-solving and creativity play in creating value for businesses and staying competitive in the tech industry.

At my current job, that's what we would call a systems engineer / middleware management.
