My advice for juniors is that it's too late to get entry level jobs for software engineering, but AI Automation engineering is just starting. Get a Claude code sub and build whatever you can imagine and focus on improving your own coding agent. Automate one more thing every day.

Software eng has always been automating repetitive decision making and processes. Code is just a series of steps computers/systems follow deterministically. Now we are automating the automation.

I don't necessarily disagree with your advice, but goodness, I don't look forward to using any of the low quality software in the next decade. I hope the shareholders remain happy.

>improving your own coding agent

write a thousand md files with detailed prompts (and called them skills)?
