In BSc in Software Engineering's own task ledger, Software Developer (US)'s "Modify existing software to correct errors, adapt it to new hardware, or…" rates augmented and Computer Programmers' "Correct errors by making appropriate changes and rechecking the program to…" rates exposed; 2 of the 4 matched rows here rate augmented and 2 rate exposed. That review habit is what keeps a developer's judgment the differentiator, however good the tool drafting the diff gets. first step: Google Engineering Practices: How to Do a Code Review · free · ~20 min
#2 Directing AI on legacy code maintenance and upgrades, verified against the system's actual current behavior before shipping the change

* THE HONESTY BOX
“not cooked” ≠ “nothing changes.” 43 of your 76 charted tasks already run with AI in the loop. this slip shows only what we could source: where studies disagree, we print both. nobody can promise outcomes; anyone who does is selling something.

Task-level AI evidence on this page is largely US-scoped research; local pay and market context differ.
