Tricky thing is that these LLMs aren’t very good systems designers, and that even for seemingly basic task someone needs to check if it’s doing what it is supposed to do. For complex systems, that requires senior developers.
But if you don’t hire junior devs anymore, who’s going to replace those seniors once they leave?
Dude from what I hear from college placement support guys is they have been seeing less middle tier job requests for alumni and the pay for early career has kind of stagnated for compsci one hr even told them selected candidates will get 2k in ai token budget though.
Did people expect coding to be a golden goose forever? We’re losing our shit over 7% unemployment in a field of regular 250k+ salaries?
Yes AI has made coding easier and will lower demand long term. We don’t need to lose our shit over this.
Regular salaries are nowhere near that high.

Psssh, that doesn’t sound like a problem for this quarter.
