Asking because I just feel like that’s gambling at its worst. 70% accuracy with 30% of the work needing to be done by gutting 60 something % of the code to salvage the remaining 40 and then building tests to make sure that it doesn’t break when someone wants to type into the magic word spewer to generate more code.
I mean I get it, but curious if the claim is true that CEO’s are happy about the prospect of lower their expenses of having an engineer team due to ai. I get it when you’re starting up, but to downsize due to it – a thing?
I keep hearing this idea that CEOs are firing their teams because they can now ai generate things. That’s not true is it?

My team is automating away most of our customer support team with AI. Our goal is 70% of what a human did last year for example, will be fully handled by AI this year. We won’t necessarily cut 70% of people, as we can make the experience better for those that do need a human. Will we cut half of the people though? Probably. Why wouldn’t we.
We receive feedback daily in our surveys telling us how glad people are that we’re not using AI. Nobody even realizes it. The best is when they complain about the actual human, and request to be transferred back to their original agent.
*Primarily doing ticketing support, but we are starting to use it for phone calls as well. It’s not there yet but it will be in 18 months.
Workforce is a companies biggest expense, if they can lower expenses whilst keeping or improving efficiency why wouldn’t they? Its just the way business operates.
Quite plausible. The projected date of the automated coder is May 2031.

Looks like coders have ~5 years to look for something else to do…
AI will expose any defects in the fruit.
I wrote an entire api using ai. It’s not ready yet. But it’s getting there.
As a senior developer: I’m set for the rest of my career due to AI. Businesses are banking on being able to lay off most of their junior/offshore developers and pocketing the difference. What will happen is that at some point there will be no more juniors learning enough to advance to senior level. I will be able to name my own price to correct AI slop, as there will be no competition. Thanks, AI!
They can try, and there will be a huge number of jobs cleaning up their mess afterwards, so I wouldn’t stress too much.
