AI this, AI that - you can't go anywhere without something trying to force AI on you. Usually a company trying to get you to buy into what they've wasted billions on. So indie devs have begun fighting back with their No Gen AI Seal.
LLMs are going to make senior devs indespensable. So far from what I’ve seen, it’s not great at solving unusual cases, and it most shines in boilerplate and generic problems.
So juniors are never going to learn to code, and then companies will have to pay for experienced people.
Juniors never think hard about unionizing, and the seniors will have job security and therefore not strong motivation.
I hope devs will unionize in any case, LLMs or not, like any other specialization.
