  • When an AI fills in the boilerplate, generates the implementations, writes the tests, the apprentice never develops the muscle memory they needed to eventually do the real work. We end up with a generation of developers who can prompt well but can’t actually build.

    What do you mean by “real work”? What is “actually building”?

    If prompting actually adds some real value, if it actually solves actual business problems, then why isn’t it a real work? And if it does not add real value, then no one sane will get rid of senior developers. In my options you’re contradicting yourself.
