Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.

You can’t even replace junior devs with AI. This is a completely false narrative intended to demoralize workers into not exercising their market power.

Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.
