In my latest article, I challenge the fear that AI will wipe out early-career developers. Instead, I argue that AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and others are actually supercharging junior devs, helping them write better code, learn faster, and contribute meaningfully to real-world projects sooner than ever.
Rather than eliminating junior roles, AI is reshaping what it means to grow in this field, turning raw curiosity and eagerness into serious impact. For senior engineers and leaders, this shift means rethinking how we mentor and integrate junior talent into teams.
Curious about how AI can accelerate rather than replace your career?
Last week, I spent some time working on how to best use Cursor to improve best practices for a development team. This coming week, I will see what other AI tools can be used to get code into production faster by automating manual tasks.
See you next week!
