I still feel that software development isn't in freefall because of AI, but because large companies have hit the point where they aren't going to put resources into development unless it will immediately produce revenue.
What large software company is doing the development typical of the industry a decade ago?
I've definitely noticed that. Deadlines are extreme now, there's no research, it's just ship it now. There's no overhead. In 10 years the business side has taken complete control with no regard for the process, and AI only amplified that.
Seniors like me are being burned out, and the juniors don't have enough experience to handle what business is throwing now. There will be a reckoning in the field I think as companies lose that experience.
