Where's the seniors who can supervise the hallucinating LLMs gonna come from? The moon?
Juniors not needed because AI can do everything at that level. But seniors need to come from somewhere, i.e juniors. Can't find satisfying answer to this yet.
This is the truth: modern agentic coder AI is better at everything compared to an entry-level coder.
**At everything.**
This means that hiring an entry-level coder doesn't make any practical sense, unless the organization wants to invest 5 to 10 years into someone learning to code by hand at a level of a mid- or senior-level coder (which is currently still needed to oversee agentic coders).
No leader in modern business would invest in an employee education for more than a quarter or, at the very least, a year.
No one.
Unless we reintroduce slavery, where the slave worker is required to stay with the employer who invested in their education until the debt is paid in full. Which is, of course, ridiculous to imagine, right?
