The sad truth is, we hardly have any software engineers anymore. Trying to find one that is not a prompt monkey has become a serious challenge. Especially new "talent" is a waste of money. You wish it wasn't so, but AI is on par with engineers. Especially when those engineers just end up using LLMs. Even people who want to learn now have a poisoned well where facts are impossible to find

I'm a software engineer and you got any sources for this? We use ChatGPT and Copilot and stuff and it helps but it doesn't seem as dire as what you're saying from what I can see? At least not yet.

Salesforce overhired during the pandemic like everyone else and is now selling AI as their efficienc boost or whatever.
