AI가 소프트웨어 엔지니어를 대체하지 않은 이유, 그리고 앞으로도 대체하지 못할 이유

WARN Act data shows AI accounts for only 0.2% of recent job losses, while AI's actual impact compresses execution but cannot automate decision-making and accountability. The structural reality—decide-execute-deliver sandwich—suggests software engineering demand remains resilient despite individual career disruptions.
