I'm a dev at work with 1 dev Jr dev under me.

We are in desperate need of another jr dev. But my work rather spend tokens.

So I setup agentic workflows which works 90% of the time. The 10% requires a me, a senior developer to babysit the workflow. My hourly cost are significantly higher.

After calculating the token usage and my hourly rate there are still some savings using the agentic workflows. But not much.

But we end up sacrificing is a pool of junior developers that I can train to be a senior. If I ever leave the company the entire company is screwed.

Yes. This has happened before, and it will happen again.

The time is coming soon for another bidding war on talent, and for all losers in the bidding war to pick up a lifetime subscription to "our software works for another month" from overpriced consulting agencies.

It is incredibly preventable, but you can't fix average CEO levels of stupid.

Edit: The funny part is that this next time the bidding losers will also have an AI token passthrough surcharge that is "pinky promise, only the token costs of your contract and definitely not subsidizing Todd's recreational use".
