AI can make experienced developers dramatically more productive by handling repetitive code, tests and routine tasks. But Gustaf Nilstadius, AI Lead at Redpill Linpro, sees a growing challenge, senior developers use AI to avoid doing something for the hundredth time, while juniors may use it to avoid doing it for the first time. The conversation explores what happens when new developers skip the mistakes and problem-solving that build real expertise. Debugging, databases, networking, security and understanding how systems actually work may become even more valuable in an AI-driven industry. The challenge is not stopping juniors from using AI, but making sure AI does not remove the learning required to become senior.
