Sounds like outsourcing/offshoring!

> But it's a sort of "bs" unproductive job, fixing up poor outcomes, and overall a less efficient scenario that experts doing it right in the first place.

I expect this theme to repeat all the time from now on.

And also I expect it to crimp the growth of several people, because the AI solves the simplest problems and then they face an insurmountable wall trying to learn every concept at the same time when they need a small increment in code realism.

Software development will probably become extremely profitable for the people that can do it properly on the next couple of decades.

Here's me hoping that hiring managers / HR will finally start actually calling references and/or checking open source contributions. I have plenty of both, and in my 14 year career have had only 2 companies call my references, 1 check my open source work. So far they all just give me some bs test job to prove that I can do basic CRUD programming despite being a senior engineer, over and over and over again, which could all be avoided with just a phone call and a basic conversation about tech stuff with their technical team ... but they are either lazy, incompetent, or a combination of both, so I get a bs test job - sometimes even before I manage to actually get the first interview. I decline all of these, of course, but there's so many and it has made job searching quite difficult.
