I've been ringing this bell to everyone I know ever since I started using Cursor. Nobody's gonna hire entry-level devs for the next 5 years, and I don't know what happens when we need mid-level devs after that.

We've had the technology to create a post-scarcity world for decades, but we persist in the idea that some people have to suffer for society to function

Thats my thoughts. Its going to kill entry level anything, thereby moving more wealth upwards to the already-haves. So if you dont own anything now, youre never going to. Get used to it.

That's pretty much the goal. The minimum wage laws prevent companies from lowering wages past a certain point, AI eliminates that problem. And really, the mid and high-level jobs aren't exactly safe, either, even if they seem so now.

It wont tho. The tech bro bubble inflaters would love it, but realistically AI wont "take" any jobs because its not capable of doing them. Bosses might fire the workers anyways, but not much later they will find out that nothing will work anymore and rehire them.
