Wow. If only they were in a position to control hiring
Worry? That’s already happening. Jr positions are becoming a thing of the past and those who somehow kept their jobs are being forced to use AI to code everything meaning they won’t properly learn the coding skills they need to become full-fledged Sr coders.
This will most likely lead to a gap in the market where companies need Sr positions yet there won’t be enough coders to go around so those with the experience today will get more competitive wages and everyone else will just have to suffer with whatever AI leaves behind.
Wait till they figure out AI will take the jobs of Microsoft Execs too. At the very least it should mean Microsoft needs fewer of them, right?
As if they don’t determine that haha? Nothing is stopping them from training young employees like they did just 20 years ago.
The last few revisions of m365 have been utter slop car crashes. QA at Microsoft is at risk of being irrevocably tarnished.
Eg – Excel has frozen because you’ve set it a big task? Ok, now Word, PowerPoint, OneNote are all locked out too until Excel releases some shared component lockout.
Bet a prior human powered QA team wouldn’t have missed that obvious engineering disaster
They have the power to ease that problem. Not only do they hire those positions, they influence other companies that hire those positions.
Seeing that image as a blurry thumbnail made me think it was a weird mouth
It’s too easy to use AI for tasks we used to delegate to Jr Engineers. Tasks that would take them a day or two and require oversight and review are now done in seconds. I’d think about switching careers if I was an Eng Student
Then „Learn to Coal“ I guess?

MS Execs: “We’re worried AI will eat entry level coding jobs”
Us: “Ok great, then hire people and pay them a good wage”
MS Execs: “Oh no, fuck that. Roll out the AI as quickly as possible and use that money for dividends and stock buybacks”
After working for startups for decades, there is infinite work. We are just getting better tools.
There’s a typo in the title. “Hope” was misspelled as “worry.”
There go our Indian outsourcing jobs.
Must be rough as an executive of one of the biggest companies on the planet that is actively pushing their broken AI where it doesn’t even belong.
No shit, Sherlock. The call is coming from inside the house, though.
This sounds like a propaganda piece. It’s definitely in Microsoft’s interest for you all to know that their stuff does as good as entry level employees.
I don’t buy it.
New no job? Nen wo job?
Funny that they weren’t concerned about that the last four years of layoffs.
Didn’t seem to worried when I applied for an entry level job.
Okay, if worried about it then why not set a company policy stating that AI will not replace entry level coding jobs and prohibit for specific tasks
We are going to let these companies wreck the economy with AI, and then leave us all to fix the mess – as usual.
American capitalism is hopelessly broken.
They don’t seem worried
no, they are definitely not
Companies will.have to spend more money on training people, or they’ll brain drain. Giving JR positions to AI solves nothing for the companies.
So how will we get senior devs if there are no junior roles for people to start out at?
