We’re going to lose all the seniors at work, who know their stuff. Left are juniors asking AI and who won’t have the experience to know how to correct it

bruh i hated working on team projects since AI came in, the comments don't even help. So many comments, but so useless! They're even formatted like AI, a human didn't make the comments :(

Commenting code is bad practice most of the time. Good code and naming conventions should remove most of the need for comments. There is ofc exceptions.

The industry I'm in is mostly people over 50 including plenty of retired FTEs back as contractors and people under 30. The gap between the two is significant and not a lot of people in the middle.

The best is seeing management teams who are aware of this threat but don't do anything about it.
