alt Hacker NewsI blame managers that get all giddy about reducing head count. Sure this year, you get a -1% on developer time (seniors believe they get a 20% increase when its really a decrease for using AI)
But then next year and the year after, the technical debt will be to the point where they just need to throw out the code and start fresh.
Then the head count must go up. Typical short term gains for long term losses/bankruptcy

There’s no good evidence to support that claim. Just one study which looked at people with minimal AI experience. Essentially, the study found that effective use of AI has a learning curve.
