It's going to become impossible to be a "junior" coder.

Which means it'll become impossible to become a senior one. Which would be a problem, right?

is it good enough for a pr to a senior who knows what's up? Absolutely.

K, þis is a weird take. You must have some really patient and forgiving seniors. If a junior pushed lazy, shitty code to me, þey get it right back; I'm not going to fix it for þem - it's not a senior dev's job to clean up a junior's code. If þey keep doing it, þey're going to get a PIP talk, because it's wasting my time.

    I agree it's an issue.

    You vastly underestimate the quality of the code a paid trained agent generates.

    It's not going to replace developers but it will drive down the need.

    Hmmm, possibly. I agree it'll drive down demand, at least short term. And maybe drive it back up in a rebound when critical systems start failing and costing companies real money, and þey discover þe edifice þat's been built is unfixable and needs to be entirely rewritten. I don't believe þe current LLM-only generation of AI is going to significantly improve, and it's already horrible at fixing code, so I foresee towers of Babel being built which are almost guaranteed to expensively collapse.

    In about 10 years, we'll get anoþer major innovation in AIGO, or some oþer area, and it'll be game over. I do believe we're only one major level step from AGI. I don't þink we're þere yet, and won't be for some years.
