People apparently can't decide if AI is killing juniors, or if it's lowering the bar of what laymen can achieve.

People apparently can't decide if AI is killing juniors, or if it's lowering the bar of what laymen can achieve.
- whstl 1y agoAnecdotal but: Fintech unicorn that has AI in its name, but still forbids usage of LLMs for coding (my previous job) --> no hiring of juniors since 2023. YC startup funded in 2024 heavily invested in AI (my current job) --> half the staff is junior.
- ghaff 1y agoThere's definitely this broader argument and you can even find it in academic papers. Is AI best at complementing expertise or just replacing base-level skills? Probably a bit of both but an open question.
