Re: AI Workforce Is Already Coming for Junior Developer Jobs on Wall Street
#2A week is far too little time to really validate if an AI replacement is suitable.
As far as I can tell, the current commercially available LLMs context windows are too small to fit the context of a real life codebase.
On top of that, there is no time to see how well it maintains code in a week’s time.
It’s cool as an assistant, and I’ve used LLMs to rewrite front-end code, but this is jumping the gun a bit.

#4The code I get from LLMs is only as good as StackOverflow and will often send you in the wrong direction if you don't know what it's doing.
The part of programming LLMs solve is the easiest part.

#5Am I missing some demos of LLM’s producing jr. Dev level work, because from my experience this seems implausible.

The sad thing is this is going to be to the detriment of those trying to learn, we are going to wind up with a new glass ceeling, programmers that can code without these tools and programmers that are reliant on them.
The latter will have very short careers (dangerous prediction, I know)

Analogous to this, I'm already seeing a new generation that doesn't know how to (and has no curiosity to learn to) get around a server or know what's going on in one because all they know how to do is run a container.

AI is making developers more productive, although I doubt that will cause a shortage in jobs

#10I look forward to a copilot trained on custom code bases to pair program with.
Also one that can write test cases and documentation.
