Where I work, we hired a developer that was supposed to be familiar with SQL. It turns out, he can't even write simple queries (and spends 0 time outside of work getting up to speed).
The director purchased a subscription to Claude and will most likely get rid of him at the beginning of the new year, because the job can pretty much be automated at this point.
Many Marketing/copyrighting people have also been laid off over the last year due to the same reasons.
"I don’t love the code it writes, but the speed is unbeatable. We still need devs"
I think this will be the problem going forward: Less positions to fill and the same amount of potential candidates. You will need to have more experience and credentials to compete.
