Comment on Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats

From what I see, the current is beginning to turn a little toward valuing senior e mg inners more than ever, because they can deal with the downsides of AI. Junior devs, on the other hand, cannot, and their simpler coding work is also more easily replaced by AI. So we’ll see fewer junior dev jobs, but seniors might do fine. I’m not sure that’s good news for the profession as a whole, but its been an extremely long gold rush into software and online services so some correction isn’t going to be the end of the trade.

Oh and yes senior devs are still hounded to use AI, because it will get them further, faster. And there are no more junior devs to help.

The problems in software still remain the same though:

(1) Bureaucracy

(2) Needless process

(3) Pointy headed managers

(4) Siloed teams

(5) Product people who have no idea what they want to build

  This, so much this.
  
  When I think about what limited my performance in the last year it was mostly:
  
  Having to get 5 signatures before I am allowed the budget to install some FOSS software on my work PC that the corporation has already approved for use on work PCs
  
  Spending 8 months working on a huge feature that was scrapped after 8 months of development
  
  Being told that no, we cannot work on another large feature request (of which there are many in the pipeline) because our team said we can only fit that scrapped feature into this year and we are not allowed to replan based on the fact that the feature we were supposed to work on got scrapped by business
  
  And then they tell us to return to office and use AI for increasing efficiency.
  
  It’s all an elaborate play performed by upper management to feign being in control and being busy with something. Nobody is actually interested in producing a product, they all just want to further their own position.

    The problem is the N+2 is in on it too. And so on. “It just works!”
