Your Sr engineer is also still distracted and focused on those tasks.
Junior engineers come up with new ideas, can eventually put the whole system together. There's never just one code base.
What Ai tools are replacing engineers? I finay tried cursors free tier yesterday and it right off the bat misunderstood my code and made up library implementation details.
I always had hard times finding a job with every job search I did. Even living in San Francisco
- spacemadness 1y agoThey should tell this to the MS employees that very publicly needed to hand hold the .NET junior coder AI repeatedly the other day. This is exactly the kind of hubris people were angry about.
- gtirloni 1y agoExactly. I don't know which planet has this AI fully doing junior jobs unattended. It's not Earth.
- hedora 1y agoI expect current AI models to behave like an L1 or L2 at a big tech company, where they will eventually fire you unless you reach L4. The only reason they’re useful is that, unlike a human, they can be summoned in under a second and you can’t hurt their feelings by rewriting 100% of their stuff.
