Anders Hejlsberg (Creator of Typescript): “Well, if it does, then how do we ever get senior software engineers? I don’t think so. Not unless you also believe that you will be able to do your business three years later than that without any senior software engineer. But to me, I think maybe one thing that to some extent has happened is that for certain classes of programmers, the pyramid has narrowed at the bottom. Right. There are fewer people coming in, and we are wanting them to advance higher up faster so that they can get to this more supervisory role. Right. I think the craft of being a software engineer is definitely changing from you’re typing in lines of code to you’re having agents type in lines of code, and you are reviewing the work of the agents. But it is but a tool, and there are still programmers involved in the process. That I firmly believe.” For the full conversation, you can search Anders Hejlsberg on my YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts (link in bio)
