That is, until Sr. Dev is forced to babysit AI producing PR slop all day while Jr. Dev is looking for a new job.

    Wrong

    We fire the Sr Dev and get the cheaper Jr Dev to oversee the AI

    Is this actually happening? I would think most tech leaders are not stupid enough to let the most capable reviewers of AI slop get fired first. I think in most case it will translate to a reduction of hiring rather than firing anyone skilled enough to correct AI output.

    That would be surprising. Usually, the long-timer who's built up personal friendships with management is the last to go. Sometimes even if they suck.

    Although, maybe in giant corporations with a lot of levels above you that would be less true.

    Maybe. Maybe Sr Dev uses their connections to help Jr Dev look for a better job (assuming they like Jr Dev, maybe they look together) and one day Jr Dev helps them back. You never know.

    But according to LinkedIn we're all too crazy about AI to care about Jr Dev if we can have fun with AI. We're all having a ton of fun using AI, right?
