We fire the Sr Dev and get the cheaper Jr Dev to oversee the AI
Right. Sad but true.
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.
The Jr Dev is worse at the job than AI. We get the cheaper AI to oversee the Jr Dev
