Bullshit these companies are overstaffed, they are already desperately understaffed with talent.
AI is a convenient form of denial about the consequences of that.
This is the answer. Reduce positions, assign all work to one guy, pocket the difference and rinse repeat.
It makes them mad that they have to pay engineers an extremely small piece of the pie. They envy competent individuals that they can’t fool with their grifting bullshit.
Its pretty wacky they attempt to blame ai considering engineers are the most likely to understand how it truly functions.
