If entry-level software jobs are being eliminated by AI or other means, how will people gain the experience necessary to become more senior developers?
My guess is that software quality will get slightly worse. We already have enough people copy-pasting from stackoverflow... Now they just copy paste from LLM... Which might or might not have had any human eyes to up and down vote...
"AI can do code" -> less experienced engineers -> no one has deep understanding of the whole system -> boom.
But it will take 25 years before this series of events plays out.
