Indeed. "AI will only do the boiler-plate and crud, while us senior engineers won't be replaced any time soon". Sure, you get yours. But what about the next generation of devs and engineers - where do we source the senior engineers replacing us when 90+% of all entry-level and junior positions which actually involve writing repetitive boilerplate to a large extent are gone, and the few remaining are offshored and outsourced? Many (most?) of us did a lot of automatable work in order to get the experience required to be able to proficiently actually automate the work, including managing LLM-generated code. If we replace our juniors with machines, we won't have many seniors down the road.
