the venn diagram of people who say "AI produces useless results I have to 100% throw away" and people who say "I've never successfully delegated parts of large software development to junior programmers" is a circle
I get a lot more done with lot less frustration giving my work to Claude than to a junior dev quite frankly and I've managed many groups over my career.
the value of the junior dev is the hopes that they'd be a senior dev someday, I dont have a solution to that problem. But in my current capacity where the only devs I'm "managing" these days are via open source contributions, they're already gone - 100% of what I get is through their own work with LLMs (which I have to spend more time correcting than if I used the LLM myself).
