Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Yup, the common concern that I've heard is "AI functions as a dipshit jr dev, so we've fired all the jr devs, and sr devs who do the cleanup are now much more valuable. In 20 years, either AI will be at sr dev level and doing everything, or we will be out of devs because we fired all the entry level ones and the existing ones have aged out."
