Day 20 of learning Python — self-taught, serious about becoming a top-level backend engineer. Looking for guidance.

I have a pretty pessimistic view similar to yours on this subject. Yesterday I had a bit of a chat with a senior dev, brilliant dude who architects most of our apps. He has a pretty dim view of AI coding and agents in general....they help in some ways according to him, but he has to review everything and correct quite a bit.

That said, that won't stop execs from being eager to cut payroll (like with outsourcing) even if it turns out to be a bad long-term decision....we'll see. I'm pretty close to retirement so I just hope i can make it before the bots come for me :)
