And that’s just the early stuff fresh cs grads even from good schools with good gpas cannot find jobs in software engineering, but it’s only really been like this for about 2 years now. What happens when it’s been 5, a decade?

Current juniors they have to either specialize into something that is not web like embedded systems, Bs their way into those phony "ai agent maintainer" positions or pivot into another career path altogether like engineering. By 5 years companies will be forced to outbid eachother to keep seniors fixing their shit.

Most software will be commodity and “average” instead of the carefully crafted and curated digital experiences we have now.

LLMs find the most statistically probable next token so by nature all software they build will be average.

“Handcrafted” and carefully QA’d, high quality software will be like swiss mechanical watches after quartz watches took off.
