This is exactly what I expected AI to do. Basically if you’re a junior developer your work is likely to be checked by a senior.
Instead they will just have seniors use AI and then check that work instead.
It’s very shortsighted because you only become a senior developer after being a junior and it will turn off new people to the industry.
But, that doesn’t matter to pretty much any large business. They never have a long term strategy (and do not let them have you believe otherwise). They have month, quarter and year only and the importance is in that order except at quarter and year end.
They will destroy their own industry for short term gains and then blame the rest of us when things turn sour.
