@sophia_surfs @kevinroose senior engineers will be as needed as ever (and look what Zuck is paying for senior AI researchers) but entry level jobs are going to diminish.

eventually, i predict, we will have a problem, with too few new senior engineers who really know what they are doing.

you can only run from reality
