As a business owner and software developer, I wish everything what is being said about AI, would be true. I would have "junior developers" doing all the legwork, while being essentially only a few servers in a rack. Ideally I want to give my junior developer a ticket from Redmine, give it access to git and it will fix the issue. But that's not how it works today. Unless ticket is superbly described to a T what is supposed to happen and where is a problem, then AI just straight up does not work and will screw things up by hallucinating. But the debugging, description and then aiming AI what it should do takes up most of the time and firing up AI and generating solution from essentially prepared data is not saving any time. So today I am using AI only if I will get to some close ended and easily describable problem. Otherwise I don't even bother. All that hassle is not worth it.

Honestly, there's no need to hire more developers right now. With AI, one developer can handle the workload of five or even more, so hiring more doesn't make sense for the business.

  That's the kind of thing that a non-technical manager would say and put a huge amount of pressure on software developers to be X times more productive, using tools that actually make them less productive in real world conditions. It's quite diabolical, if you ask me, to have people that can't even grasp or understand what these tools are, but ask people to be more productive. It's like putting roller blades on horses and expecting them to be 5 times faster.

  Maybe if your devs are building React components for ecommerce websites. But if they are building automotive or flight control software - good luck with that!

  Thats how we can tell you are not a developer without saying you are not a developer.
