The real problem will be in 5 years, when current university students having their brains melted by AI that somehow luck into entry level positions can’t ever get to senior level because they’re too reliant on AI and they literally don’t know how to think for themselves. There will never again be as many senior engineers as there are today. There won’t be any good engineers left to hire.
Look around you. 15 years ago we didn’t have phones and now kids are so addicted to them they’re giving themselves anxiety and depression. Not just kids, but kids have it the worst. You know it’s gonna be even worse with AI.
- floundy 1y agoMost departments at companies run on zero to two good engineers anyway. The rest are personality and nepotism hires limping along some half-baked project or sustainment effort. Most people in my engineering program didn’t deserve their engineering degrees. Where do you think all these people go? Most of them get engineering jobs.
- amrocha 11mo agoI’m gonna assume you’re being facetious here. I’ve been in tech for 15 years and I’ve never met a “nepotism hire”. Most of my coworkers have been incredible people. But in case you’re serious, there’s an old saying that says if everywhere you go smells like shit maybe it’s time to check your shoes.
