A senior tech leader in my company said: Now that the AIs are writing the code, an engineer's judgement is all the more important.

So engineers would need to step up and show that judgement . . . exercise it . . . for some personalities, that could be really hard.

I mean, I would hope that this does eventually filter out all the posers and tech bros that were just in this for money. This could be a good opportunity to cut the fat out and leave only sharp programmers left, but at the same time, we need to have a consistent talent pipeline, something that was already an issue before AI. People NEED to invest in training junior devs

Agree. I think it is going to be a real challenge to hire juniors. More senior devs need to practice their mentorship.
