I disagree. In my experience AI does most of the work and the juniors already poor skills atrophy. Then a senior engineer has to review AI slop and tell the junior to roll the AI dice again.

Agreed, this is like AI doing your homework. A select few will use it to learn but most will copy/pasta, let it create their PR and slack the rest of the day. But at least they are "trying" so they won't get fired. And it requires strong senior engineers to walk them through the changes they are trying to check in and see why they chose them.

I've seen it go both ways. As usual, a good manager should be able to navigate this.

		Ok, but not all managers are good and not all situations are navigable.

I’m so sick of getting “but copilot said…” responses on PR comments.
