That is part of why I am not... too worried as an engineer? Like years of manually studying, fixing and reviewing code is experience that only pre ~2020 devs will have. The intuitive/tacit knowledge that lets you look at code and "feel" that something is off with it cannot really be gained when using Claude Code, it takes just 1000s of hours of tinkering. It will suck if the job shifts to reviewing and owning whatever an LLM spits out, but I don't really know how effective new juniors are going to be. | ||

> but I don't really know how effective new juniors are going to be. True. Pretty soon, pre-AI devs may be the COBOL/Fortran engineers of this era: niche and hard to replace. | ||
