Hot take: I don't see a problem with this and in fact we will see in a few years that senior engineers will be needed less in the future.

I have a business which is turning in millions in ARR at the moment (made in the pandemic) it's a pest control business and we have got a small team with only 1 experienced senior engineer, we used to have 5 but with AI we reduced it to one which we are still paying well.

Even with maintenance, we plan ahead for this with an LLM and make changes accordingly.

I think we will see more organizations opting for smaller teams and reducing engineer count since now the code generated is to the point that it works, it speeds up development and that it is "good enough".

This is interesting. Do you run a custom app in house? What are some of the main functions of the app? Internal or customer facing?
