  • AI for coding is very useful, assuming you’re already a senior dev. It allows one senior dev to replace four or five junior devs, ultimately annihilating the market for junior devs. Unlike junior devs, senior devs already know how code should run, so verifying the AI isn’t an issue. Instead of senior devs having to “waste time and productivity” training junior devs, senior devs can instead spin up four or five AI agents and supervise them, commanding them to write the code and then review the code at the end.

    Now, the question arises, “what will happen when these senior devs retire?” There is no answer to that. The idea is by that time, all dev work will be replaced by AI.
