    This absolutely has to do with AI. If 1 tech worker now has the productivity of 2 tech workers, then they only need to hire half as many workers. Junior developer positions don’t really exist anymore. If we want new jobs, we need new businesses that try to solve the problems that still exist, like the lack of recycling. I’m lucky to have a job in the refurbishment industry, but I’m starting to strongly believe I’m going to need to start my own business next year.

      Yes, that is what the clueless executives think.

      I’ve never worked with a junior developer that was worse than AI is now. It’s often confidently wrong and can do so much damage, all while winning the politics battle without trying.
