    So let me get this straight. Companies were like “instead of paying one senior dev 300k and 5 junior devs 150k, we can get rid of all the junior devs and give the senior dev AI to do all of the legwork thus saving us 750k.”

    And then they found out that AI costs money. So instead of ponying up the 100k in tokens for the senior dev to to their job, they are saying “Hey senior dev, we are taking away your bonus and replacing it with tokens! You can take it or be out of a job, because we refuse to keep anybody on board who doesn’t use AI to replace 5 junior devs”

    So these cheap fucks saved 750k, and are upset with the fact that they might only save 650k?

    While also destroying the planet to generate shitty code.

    I fucking hate this time line.
