Juniors and offshore teams will probably be the most severely impacted. If a senior dev is already breaking off smaller tightly scoped tasks and fixing up the results, that loop can be accomplished much more quickly by iterating with a LLM. Especially if you have to wait a business day for someone in India to even start on the task when a LLM is spitting out a similar quality PR in minutes.

Ironically a friend of mine noticed that the team in India they work with is now largely pushing AI-generated code... At that point you just need management to cut out the middleman.



lol, what it’s soon going to lead to is unfortunately the very opposite of what you’re thinking.

Management will cut down your team’s headcount and outsource even more to India ,Vietnam and Philippines.

A CFO looks at balance sheet not operations context, even if you’re idea is better the opposite of what you think is likely going to happen very soon.

Management did all that at companies I've worked for for years before 'AI'. The big change is that the teams in India won't 200 developers, but 20 developers handholding an AI.
