When people say that the tech market will bounce back up for CS graduates are they been delusion? People seem to have this religious concept that the tech sector always bounces back. It this copium? (lemmy.ml)

LLMs are good enough at coding now to replace the average fresh comp sci graduate

This depends heavily on the graduate. I’ve met fresh graduates who don’t know what a for loop is and I’ve met fresh graduates who have a pretty extensive portfolio already. It really depends on how much they engaged with their program, hung out with other people from their major, and did projects outside of schoolwork.

All that said, junior developers are capable of doing something that LLMs can’t currently do: becoming senior developers. If the industry wants to do this short sighted bullshit of giving juniors the shaft after all the work they put into “learn 2 code” they’re going to be painfully surprised when their seniors start leaving and there’s no labor pool to replace them.

That's exactly what I would expect to happen, they never plan more than a quarter or two in advance
