If your engineers (software or otherwise) aren’t spending a lot of time engineering, then you’ve got a hiring problem. Most jobs I’ve worked as a software engineer are 90% engineering (soft and hard skills) and only about 10% programming. With AI, it becomes about 60% engineering and 20% babysitting an AI, and 30% programming because the AI got it wrong.

Now, we can’t even hand this stuff off to juniors and teach them things they’ll hopefully remember. Instead, I have to explain to an AI, for the 60th time, that it has hallucination problems.

Personally, I’d rather have the juniors back.
