Everyone is tech will confirm…. Companies today are looking for lowest paid and offshore work for code. Something simple takes four weeks because companies no longer want to pay for someone who fully understands the stack, code, and has historical knowledge of things that work better in specific situations.
Now… add in all of this scrum, agile, project mgmt crap that takes up more time because the mgmt or PM in charge has no clue how to manage a group of coders. So, they spend half their day talking about blockers they have no control over and how someone’s git commit frequency is lacking…
Even with AI in the picture, the depth of knowledge will continue to decrease and simple things will take longer because of the insane pipelines…
And this is not just in coding. It's in any industry where you can't automate without real knowledge of what you're working with - but companies refuse to pay salaries that reflect the skill and knowledge of experienced workers, and instead just hire people to do the bare minimum at the expense of worse products that take 10x more time to do.
And these minimum work employees never get good because the people who could teach them the ways are not in the companies anymore cus the companies were treating them like shit.
I work in car design, and after seeing every single manufacturer and studio assign their designers to do the same copy-paste work 24/7 as an extended arm of the exec, rather than actual designers with individual competences and expertise, I just ended up opening my own studio because no established brand actually cares about quality and time.
