How is the place you’re at approaching AI in this context?

As a senior I worry about the juniors coming in — Claude can do what I would have previously tasked to a junior.

I guess the shape of the junior role just changes.

It has been interesting. The good guys got better with AI. The C grade guys mostly get confused, or follow hallucinations for a lot longer before they realise it’s a dead end. If anything AI seems to make it easier to see who is good and who isn’t.

Ironically on the token use leader boards the C guys are crushing it.

Edit: I was worried about Claude+junior myself but it’s not working out that way. It’s like giving an apprentice access to a full woodworking shop full of tools and expecting fine joinery, but getting a high school spice rack and 2 tons of sawdust
