> get good with AI coding tools can be performing at senior levels

No. They are orthogonal modes of thinking. That said, getting good at prompting LLM is already making people better communicators. That will be a big benefit to seniors as they can use their prompting skills to direct junior staff more efficiently. But better at thinking about the trade offs that senior devs need to think about, nope.




Respectfully, being able to explore different code paths quickly with the help of LLMs to generate scaffolding has done exactly that for me.


If I had a need I might but need is a relative thing. I didn’t need LLM last year. I want to need less not more.
