> It also makes me think that functional consultants equipped with AI might be a bigger threat to ABAP jobs than anything else
When I got to see Joule Studio 2.0 demo for the first time, this was exactly my thought. LI fraternity must stop 'end of functional consultants' posts and start posting 'rise of functional-techno consultants' (I reversed 'techno-functional', I don't know if its a thing). The better equipped Functional Consultants are the future with SAP doing more 'Clean Core' push with AI cream on top.
Great point, Merbin! I would add that purely functional consultants who rely on pushing any unpleasantness to ABAPers might also be at risk here. As always, it pays to diversify, be it money or skills. :)

Techno-Func maybe? Or is that a music genre?
Wish SAP would address the lack of support for companpies who cant use AI and cloud. We seem to not exist
I feel that applies to anything that doesn't contribute to "cloud revenue" that gets reported in the quarterly SAP investor calls. :/
This post just surfaced in my LI feed. The path for such companies seems to be not the same as SAP roadmap: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/part-4-i-asked-abap-refused-guess-bapi-alok-mehta-bbs1e/
Thanks for that, interesting read. We are eagerly waiting for Soverign Cloud (UK) but still no movement.
