On my side we've refrained from hiring people/training people due to AI. Its mostly been a good decision especially at the frontend layer where those teams are starting to do more with less. Don't get me wrong - I don't like the path the SWE profession is going and I'm not an AI fan for a variety of reasons. But at the same time I don't want to over hire and have no work for the people to do (i.e. the bottleneck being business ideas, regulation, ability to iterate in our domain, etc rather than tech). I can't just "work faster" and "ship more" - you start hitting other bottlenecks. Over hiring is not a great problem to manage either; morale at the very least decreases as people have no work to do. The people in those bottlenecks anecdotally are seeing pay increases btw which goes to show - the inefficient get the spoils.
