How do you vet mid level and entry developers? I know that sounds like a dumb question. But I only expect a mid level developer especially enterprise developers to turn well defined requirements into code. The bar is especially low in the age of AI. One is basically interchangeable for another. I have only interviewed senior level developers - ie people who I expect to operate on a higher level of scope, impact and ambiguity.

Those are easy to filter out via a few behavioral questions.

But if that is the standard, what is the point of the mid level developer in the first place? I have a tool to turn well defined requirements into code and it is $20-200 a month.

I wouldn’t trust AI to do anything that I didn’t know how to do myself. You still need SMEs for mobile, web etc. you just need fewer of them.
