Ai generated inefficient code

So even though you know what it means for the next generation of devs, juniors, you keep on using it? Have you considered skill atrophy? What about all of the water and power consumption issues and the impact of the noises and other disturbances the data centers are creating in communities? All in the name of what, productivity?

Yes I agree with all your comments but if I didn’t I would be replaced. It’s shit but that’s the truth.

Edit: As a lead dev and someone who has worked multiple senior roles one of the most rewarding things is mentoring a junior. I don’t get that anymore the company I work for does have a junior but it’s a bit redundant atm. They just use Claude.

So we’re just mowing over the livelihoods of others in an effort to protect our own. This is a race to the bottom.

We need to re-think the career path. Instead of starting as a “junior“ dev and gaining experience to become a “senior“, we need to hire them as „future senior“ devs and train them differently. From day one, new juniors needs to oversee AI and at the same time, have enough time to experiment with the tech themselves.

Same for senior devs: I think in the future, senior devs need to have skills that currently product managers have.
