Interestingly if you look at the breakdown by years of experience, it shows the 1-3 year junior group being faster, 4+ years no difference
I wonder if we're going to have a future where the juniors never gain the skills and experience to work well by themselves, and instead become entirely reliant on AI, assuming that's the only way
I think we're going to see a small minority of juniors who managed to ignore the hype/peer pressure/easy path and actually learned to code have a huge advantage over the others.
Which isn’t saying much if efficiency gains tank the demand for developers, which will then tank everybody’s salary. The actual efficiency gains are debatable, but even if we’re talking about a 20% gain, that could be a few FTEs for a small team.
