The End Of Jr Engineers

Seriously though. Even if you quit watching. Watch the end and my response. I do get quite frustrated and maybe lose my cool

My entire life comes down to that meme "I should have been gaining experience and buying a home back in 1999 instead of being a toddler"

Lawyer here: large law firm, was a software engineer for years before law school, I'm on my 100+ attorney law firm's technology scouting committee. We've reviewed and used many AI products targeted at law. It's not even CLOSE to replacing junior associates. Hell, it isn't even close to replacing summer interns. Like with coding, it can make some tasks more productive. But much more than in coding it can be worse than a waste of time (lead you astray, etc.)

Yep, these youngsters picked a terrible time to be born. Rookie error, better luck next time.

I'm a senior engineer with over a decade of experience. The death of a junior engineer is the death of fresh minds and innovative solutions.

Companies now: "need a senior developer who can work with a peanut salary of jr. developer"

I felt like globalization and localized pay is a much bigger challenge to overcome than LLM. I’ve seen job listings with ZERO open positions in the U.S. but then I switch my VPN location to India and magically 50+ listings appear for engineering in any path you want to go down. I converted the average salary to dollars and realized they are hiring full time engineers for $500 a month. That makes me more depressed than LLM.

This reminds me of those crypto articles talking about how crypto will replace every single type of banking transaction in the next couple of years.

I actually teared up a little when you mentioned about never stealing hope from anyone. Well said.

Respect for prime for being an advocate of hope. These opportunists who'd rather add into the perception of doom just to sell you something do not deserve any of our attention. There are still hope out there for junior engineers.
