This will allow for a D or C level coder to be a B/B- coder which is great, quality goes up. But corps will use this to depress wages and finally be able to create that wonderous unicorn of completely fungible coder.
This kind of tooling is akin to the crossbow.
It will allow for less skilled folks to push out code that is like other code at great speed. A copy pasta accelerator if you will.
I tend to think like you. Somehow we convinced businesses that a mostly-blue collar job gets paid white collar salary but I've been told that SW-engineers aren't overpaid. Most people are just very underpaid.
What are your thoughts on that? I can lean that way just because I have a genius mechanical engineer friend who only makes 60k in his 30s.
If the reduction of developer wages led to the increase of wages for other workers, sure. But of course that won't happen. The reduction of wages for any class of worker will simply lead to further consolidation of wealth.
