Most companies are doing it right now. They don’t want to pay for developers as professionals. They want them to be low wage slaves like all of their other employees and have been working towards that for years. The fake promises of “AI” is giving them an excuse to lay off all of the experienced developers and hire entry level people pretending that “AI” will do the actual work. In reality the few remaining real developers are having to pick up all of the slack combined with products getting more and more buggy and useless. Eventually things will crash, but they’ll be able to rehire at much lower wages because consolidation has lead to very few small businesses in the market anymore and very few large businesses that all just laid off a ton who haven’t been able to find work.
