I just read another article stating that many middle managers are recognizing the folly of firing their seasoned software developers after observing that AI produces lots of useless slop. That "rescue" may not hold over other job types that AI is replacing, but it is evident that AI isn't the ultimate solution for software engineering.

Really tired of CEOs mouthing off everyday. Too bad their mommies didn’t give them enough attention as kids.

Their former employees will get jobs at consulting companies, who will fix the mess caused by AI at three times the salary they would have gotten to do it right in the first place.

AI is just another tool they obviously don't know how to use. My brother is a retired CEO of a wordlwide medical company, but he was originally head of software/hardware development for them. He occasionally still does their software projects, but he no longer hires coders. He says he lays out the framework and lets Grok AI do the rest.
