The defense industry lost the ability to make weapons when crisis hit. The same pattern is eroding software engineering skills. The timelines are identical.
Some people are so anti-AI, all they have to do is call and hire them. They haven’t ever used AI, so their pure and perfect and powerful brains can do these jobs.
The issue isn’t that ai turns people stupid. The issue is that companies are replacing junior dev positions with ai.
The only way to become a senior dev is to be a junior dev and gain experience. Replacing junior positions with ai creates an eventuality where we will need senior devs but there are none (or more likely not enough) because the junior dev positions were replaced with ai. A super-race of humans untainted by ai isn’t going to change this.
It’s a ridiculous assumption.

What’s the issue that I am missing?
