>You're so wrong, this only works if.. wrong? I'll gladly continue this 'wrong' approach if it continues to be as successful as it has over the last 6 months. Aswell as it being entertaining seeing the level of cope among 'senior' developers watching someone on 1/4th of their salary design systems better than they can

Do you plan on promoting them eventually or just replacing them once they realize they’re getting a bad deal?

  Theyre getting paid and have a job. If they dont like that deal they can go find another one elsewhere. But its going to get increasingly difficult to justify promoting them to higher salaries if generative AI continues as it is, as the bottom line is that there will be another junior dev out there that will do the role on less.

I recognize I’m not going to change your mind on this, but I’ll sure be interested to hear how all those systems are working in a year or two - although from your comments elsewhere, you run a consultancy, so I guess that’s not your problem, either.

  Many people without experience ask this same question. It isnt relevant. They arent just producing code and pushing it, saying it works. It undergoes the same extensive testing for stability and security as the solution written by anyone else goes through. If it passes that, then its as likely to have issues further down the line as the solution written solely by the senior dev would have.

> 1/4th of their salary If they + AI are a replacement for senior devs, shouldn't they be paid accordingly?
- ArthurStacks 1y ago
  That would defeat the purpose. The whole point is to reduce costs by getting a cheap junior dev and having them operate AI to produce the same or better result for far less

    So the point is to use technological advancements only to increase company profit and not pass any on to the actual workers. If a junior costs 1/4 of a senior, they could easily paid more from the 3/4s saved (since they're also more valuable now), but I guess shareholder millions come first.

      Of course. I'm running a business, not a welfare program

        What a way to summarize the decades of apathy that led to the current state of wealth inequality.
        ArthurStacks 1y ago
        Apathy? More like the fact that the majority of people are too lazy, not motivated enough, not willing to take risks, and go out and build something of their own that results in wealth, and prefer to sit safe as someones employee, complaining about 'wealth inequality'

Did the juniors decide it was a better system or the seniors?
