If your only value proposition is “I write good code and pull well defined stories from Jira”, your career was in danger a decade ago as an enterprise dev. The commodization between its not hard to be a good enough developer and outsourcing and plateauing of comp was happening then.

Yes I am aware of BigTech comp - I’m talking about boring old companies like banks, airlines, etc where most developers work.

AI is just making the problem worse for the “ticket takers”. No matter what your title is if you are pulling tickets off the board - that’s mid level behavior.

On the BigTech and adjacent side which is a completely different industry with separate rules to enter and different comp, being able to do leetCode to get a job isn’t enough as of 2022.
