That’s exactly what I’ve become. A monkey typing prompts and pressing Enter to confirm plans and actions.
Obviously I am exaggerating but my days shifted from figuring out issues and coming up with solutions to explaining the issue to Claude and supervising the work.
What worries me is two things:
1. Current models were mostly trained on human work. Do we have enough training materials created now for the models to progress or they’ll be training or other models output? That cannot end well.
2. I’ve started as a Junior Engineer and had opportunity to learn and become Senior. The job market for junior is really bad cause businesses plan just for couple quarters ahead. They replaced juniors with AI. Who’s gonna replace seniors? And don’t say AI ;)
