I’ve been ringing this bell to everyone I know ever since I started using Cursor. Nobody’s gonna hire entry-level devs for the next 5 years, and I don’t know what happens when we need mid-level devs after that.
They will work their senior devs to death, continuously offering more money to forgo their retirement until the AI can replace them and eventually code becomes a lost language to us that only the machines can understand.
Even if there wasn’t AI taking people’s jobs, what left is there to develop?
It feels like there already was a natural contraction of the industry after the increase in interest rates. I feel like AI is more of a smoke screen for executives to justify loss of headcount.
I mean, the answer is simple. You teach people how to code better. That is literally the point of education - to teach people to do things so they don’t have to learn on the job via trial and error.
