> It really saddens me to see some developers talk about literally quitting their careers over AI, right when the benefits of existing deep technical experience have never been more valuable.
But that's not what senior executives think. That's all that matters. If they think that AI can replace engineers, so let it be. I mean, since when senior executives know shit about what quality means? They only care about revenue and profit. So yeah, you're right, but that's not gonna happen (sadly)
That’s very black and white. An org with a sizable enough engineer employment base will have leaders who understand that engineering is a deep discipline and quality matters, after all what they sell is an SLA. Sure not all orgs are like that, but AI has not changed the calculus: fast / cheap / good, are tradeoffs long discussed before AI.
