Genius strategy:

  • Replace Juniors
  • Old nerds knowing stuff die out
  • Now nobody knows anything about programming and security
  • Everything's now a battle between LLMs

I’ve already had to reverse engineer shitty old spaghetti code written by people who didn’t know what they were doing, so I could fix obscure bugs.

I can wait until I have to do the same thing for AI generated code.

Just apply for any top company, especially Shit Valley. They'll 100% use GenML.

This is a generalized problem. It's not only programming. The world faces a critical collapse of expertise if we defer to AI.
