Background & analysis
On November 9, 2026, shaharglazner, co-founder and CTO of keepalerting, published a long post on X titled "On Being an Engineer in 2026," with the subtitle "Do we still need to?
" addressing whether engineers are still needed in the AI era.

He then argued that AI turns 10x engineers into 100x engineers, while ordinary engineers remain ordinary.
