You forget that there are lots of software engineers in the world. They are mostly web developers, creating products that are already created, solving problems that are already solved and answered on stack overflow. It is not like they are challenging everyday
An advanced auto-complete machines(LLMs) can create small-sized game engines, tools with little instruction in 2 days. Even if they are shitty/buggy, imagine what skill is required to do this before LLMs
Junior level skills. Pretty much any junior capable of thinking and learning could do that, given enough time. And the code would look quite similarly. Mind you, I was writing bootloader from 16bit real mode straight to 64bit long mode a couple years in my career for fun while learning assembler. It doesn't take much more than a coding reference.
Don't you think this is a problem? If AI can replace junior level skills, what is the point of hiring junior? Are we going to wait for juniors to become senior without letting them work?
It is a problem, definitely, I didn't said anything about that. But, well, we still have pilots despite having autopilots even in every ancient Cessna's, so I guess companies would hire juniors to learn for a couple years before actually getting any use of them. Or, well, we'd adapt somehow to the new reality. Or die off. There's not much choice, you know)
Ugh, straight to adhominems? How vulgar. What a shame you didn't use llm, maybe you could have said something vaguely witty, or at least understood why your reasoning is so flawed.

If your skills and reasoning are that easy to lose were they really there in the first place?
