I’ve been working with a team of so called ‘junior’ devs and coding is the least of the problems. Design and architecture is by far the most difficult thing for people to understand and get a hang of. A staff engineer won’t replace 2-4 junior devs with LLM. He will focus on the design and architecture and then get 2-4 engineers to execute it with LLMs. The two might sound the same but it’s not. And that’s the difference between understanding software engineering and coding. LLMs make coding easier, not software engineering.
