I give you 18 months. The jobless are coming.
@OP good.
We are now training AI in Consumer Direct our jobs are next.
@f0 Thats what happens when you RIF anyone with 10 plus year experience and send the job to Bangalore. The so called “Expert Engineers” there are all gone now enjoying severence. AI could theoretically improve productivity but do you seriously think they are going to implement correctly? Last I heard they are running GPT 2.5 with codium lol. Zero chance of that place standing up any kind of coherent AI implementation. They like to talk about it every chance they get, but talking and doing are not the same.
AI can only go far, someone very senior still needs to fix the brocken code written by AI. I have been playing with it for quite some time. As someone in JPMC said the magic is within all of us.
My fear is that more software engineer imposters continue to infiltrate the organization. At this point, JPMC’s internal frameworks feel like they were designed by a committee of sleep-deprived interns on a tight deadline and with no adult supervision. The team responsible should be closely evaluated because, by all appearances, many so-called senior-level software engineers and leads don’t know ‘this’ from an actual field reference.
They architect systems like they're building IKEA furniture blindfolded—plenty of pieces, no instructions, and a leftover sc--w that crashes production on a Friday night. Half the codebase looks like someone Googled “how to write Java” and stopped reading on page one. Meanwhile, actual problems get buried under layers of abstraction no one asked for and dependencies that were deprecated three years ago.
AI can only did simple tasks. It can’t replace most people. Outsourcing is the biggest danger. I work as a senior associate developer. AI is far away from doing my job.
