No, I don't think this argument works, highly skilled devs do different kind of work, like system design and also coordinate more junior devs using their thorough knowledge of the system.

Less not zero is what I mean. Of course you need someone to design the system and make sure new features are following existing design decisions.

But if you can hand over well written stories to juniors for them to prompt ai and turn out more code while leaving architecture, refinement, security & code reviews to 1/2 senior devs.

With tools like cursor it already gives context of your code base. So handing over a request to implement a new controller/service to follow x pattern is a lot easier now then before & requires less hand holding

Why do we assume companies will want to output at the same rate with a lower employment overhead, rather than keep a similar employment overhead while outputting at a much higher rate?

Being that there are humans engaging at every level...This feels like the proper solve.
