I tell my CS students who ask if there will be any junior positions for them when they graduate:
There will be an entire new industry of people who vibed 1000 lines of MVP and now are stuck with something they can’t debug. It’s not called a junior developer, but it’s called someone who actually knows programming.
Also, they will continue to deliver code that is full of security holes, because programming teachers are often not competent to teach those aspects, and IT security professionals who teach tend to be poor programmers or paper pushers.
Probably simultaneously, LLMs will perpetuate faulty MVPs that need fixing for the viber economy, while at the same time, all those AI engineering problems get solved, but only for those who know how to ask.
That’s a good comparison.
But at another scale.

That will only be a temporary phase while LLMs still produce bugs that LLMs can't predict or fix themselves.
Untill GödeLLM comes along and proves this is a permanent phase after all
