GitHub Blog identifies three key skills developers need as AI changes the industry

AI is changing how developers work, making skills like directing AI, critically evaluating its output, and solving broader problems more essential than just writing code. Directing AI involves defining problems clearly and coordinating multiple AI agents, rather than implementing every piece. Developers should not trust the first AI answer; they should use their experience to evaluate outputs, sometimes by having a second AI model critique the first. This time savings allows developers to focus on customer needs, architectural tradeoffs, and defining success metrics.
