One of the most dangerous forms of AI washing is calling the elimination of junior engineers
"AI efficiency."
Because most companies aren't actually replacing junior talent with AI. They're cutting the pipeline that produces future senior engineers.
And that pipeline matters: the junior engineers you don't hire in 2026 are the staff engineers, architects, and engineering leaders you won't have in 2030.
Seeking advice from multiple people before making a move guarantees a mediocre outcome. Group thinking dilutes bold ideas until they look identical to everything else on the market. Exceptional breakthroughs require you to rely on your own conviction.
