Genuine question: could this be because of the sudden lurch every company is making to AI?

[–] Dashi 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean... sure but not to that percentage. Ai is a force multiplier not replacement. You still need developers because an average Joe couldn't work the Ai to get what a company would need out of it. But if you use that Ai with cheap coders you hire/exploit that are thrilled to get a job at 15k a year and a visa vs paying 80k then the company is all set.

Makes sense, thank you.
