According to this other thread posted on HN today, the issue isn't AI, but the end of zirp. Some even argue that AI and GenAI coding is all just hype: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44136117
Of course, I think the people in that thread have it dead wrong, and I agree with this article. I work at a large tech company that has already stopped hiring junior developers. We're getting so much more productivity out of IC engineers that I would expect to see layoffs even with increasing product velocity.
People who say GenAI isn't vastly speeding up development are just using motivated reasoning, aren't using the tools, or are just bad engineers.
