I suspect that the last white collar workers have been trained outside of regulated fields. If it can be taught, an AI can do it. The only work left is either manual or inherently new.
Anecdotally we haven’t hired junior engineers in over a year and do not plan to.
> We are watching programming stop being a job title and become a capability, the same way "typist" stopped being a job title when it became a thing everyone was expected to know. Casually pretending that decades of software engineers comparing programming to typing and saying "you are not a programmer, that is not a job" long before chatbots, didn't exist. The job was always "software architect", "software engineer"…

Absolutely not the case now. Maybe it will be in future, but that's basically impossible to predict.

Same here.
Used to have an “academy” where we pick people up from first year in uni and get them to learn from zero.
Haven’t had one in ~3 years, no plan to.
Also half the company was downsized.
No hiring in 3 years, cutting tons of people and tons of people leaving, we’re now at a point where in the tech i work in, our most junior person is a senior with about 10 YoE
