Junior engineers now learn from AIs. And AIs now learn from RL cost functions. And RL cost functions are being set by PhDs, with little to no production grade engineering experience ;)

The result is interesting. First, juniors are miserable. What used to be a good experience coding and debugging, in a state of flow is now anxiously waiting if an AI could do it or not.

And senior devs are also miserable, getting apprentices used to be fun and profit, working with someone young is uplifting, and now it is gone.

The code quality is going down, Zen cycle interrupted, with the RL cost functions now at the top.

The only ones who are happy are hapless PhDs ;$
