I am still mostly coding by hand, other than meeting the KPIs of AI use at the company, required trainings, use of agents and whatever.

Eventually like every hype wave the dust will settle, and lets see where we stand.

By now all the AI companies have consumed all human knowledge so they either learn to actually think for themselves, or that is it.

Either way, that won't change the ongoing layoffs while trying to pursue the AI dream from management point of view.

I think most companies doing layoffs are bloated to begin with, AI is just the scapegoat to do the layoffs.

I am aware of layoffs that are really caused by AI.

Translation and asset generation teams for enterprise CMS, whose role has now been taken by AI.

Likewise traditional backend development, that was already reduced via SaaS products, serverless, iPaaS low code/no code tooling, that now is further reduced via agents workflow tooling, doing orchestration via tools (serverless endpoints).
