You're unironically believing an MBA who's bonus likely depends on optimizing processes (which is a fancy way of saying "firing whoever they can get away with")

You're unironically believing an MBA who's bonus likely depends on optimizing processes (which is a fancy way of saying "firing whoever they can get away with") over people on this forum, half of which likely code themselves?
AI has made big splashes and some industries are in the process of getting annihilated (ie. Designers working for marketing agencies and similar roles). I'd expect things to get more spicy over the coming decade for programming, too... But right now, at this very moment: LLMs can't code good enough to save time unless the programmer is a total novice.
- kcplate 2y ago> unless the programmer is a total novice Might be different in SV or at a FAANG, but speaking from my nearly 4 decades of experience in tech, many to most programmers that have come up in the last 20 years are either lifetime novices, or at least just barely capable of productivity. I see 80% of the work being done by the top 20%. I think AI is definitely going to devastate the vocation because it’s going to replace that 80% barely productive group. I can see a future where most of the code is written to a 90% completion level by AI, then finished by the best of the best of us ugly bags of mostly water.
