Headline in six months: Salesforce Hires Software Engineers After Realizing Middle Managers Don't Know How To Turn AI-Generated Code Into Actual Applications

Being a software engineer is a hell of a lot more than just the actual act of writing code.

Knowing companies, they won't realise anything and will just make their existing employees pick up the slack

Not before the 2025 headline Salesforce lays off 25% of software development staff.

Maybe if we'd put LLM powered puppets in the meetings with management so developers can just continue with their actual work we'd get a lot more done.

The cost savings will be immense, productivity and innovation will no longer be impaired by incapable self centred arseholes playing political games, … I can see that working.

Also the amount of management that doesn’t understand the difference between coders, programmers, and engineers. All quite different in scope and all completely necessary for at-scale production.
