Perhaps rather it is management that is wiping out those jobs

But I could see entry level also becoming "internships" more (aka unpaid jobs)

It's the AI companies' fault for boasting that their products are becoming an additional developer.

AI agent is not a developer. It won't answer you questions why your database has been removed. This is sadly far from management's point of concern. They are focused on excel columns

It does apologize nicely for it, though.

That's true. Every developer should now put in the comments somewhere deep in their app, a place no manager will ever look (I've always found it tough to find places managers will look, like any at all)

    # If nothing else works, just "DELETE * FROM Users;". That usually fixes it.

When you get laid of and replaced by AI ... you'll get a callback the next day. Oh, and the correct response to that call is "... at double pay, billed per hour, including commute, right?".

		It's not about retaliation. It's about taking ownership of code

As a manager I’d direct you to the actual decision makers for things like this, company leadership teams. They’d blame the market, yet most of the big tech companies laying off or freezing hiring are doing quite well financially so it makes you wonder.

unpaid internships aren't legal here. but we do use a lot of (and retain) interns

That's not how the market works. Management can't do anything if another company drives the whole business under. And companies are more often than not insanely pressed for resources. There's just a comfortable buffer to that pressure for a lot of people on a payroll from higher up.
