Maybe…? This just seems like a massive over-correction here, and an over-correction to something other than the existence of LLMs at that. They shovelled so many people into IT via boot camps to correct the perceived overvaluation of software professionals that now there’s nothing to be seen for all that investment, and the market has snapped back. Actual experienced engineers became even more desirable a resource due to overseeing all the boot camp kids, and now we’re less than months away from a massive mess of instant legacy code everywhere due to CTOs who saw $s in their eyes from the low low cost of Claude versus a junior.
