  The landscape of software engineering is evolving rapidly amidst the digital
transformation and the ascendancy of AI, leading to profound shifts in the role
and responsibilities of software engineers. This evolution encompasses both
immediate changes, such as the adoption of Language Model-based approaches in
coding, and deeper shifts driven by the profound societal and environmental
impacts of technology. Despite the urgency, there persists a lag in adapting to
these evolving roles. By fostering ongoing discourse and reflection on Software
Engineers role and responsibilities, this vision paper seeks to cultivate a new
generation of software engineers equipped to navigate the complexities and
ethical considerations inherent in their evolving profession.
