Yesterday, Wang Xing said at Meituan's financial report conference that 52% of the company's new code is generated by AI, and over 90% of engineers widely use AI programming tools. At the beginning of the month, OpenAI acquired Windsurf for $3 billion, and another AI programming tool, Cursor, has a latest valuation of up to $9 billion. The AI programming tools developed by a small group of engineers are replacing the majority of the remaining engineer positions. A few years ago, when I was working as a recruitment platform, I found that the most sought after candidates were those with a 985 background, around 4-6 years of experience, and a background in a large company. Now this group of people is becoming increasingly saturated, and positions are continuously shrinking. Some companies prefer to have three people earn four people's wages to do the work of five people. A similar situation is also happening in Silicon Valley, where high paying code farmers gather. In addition to the impact of AI programming on human programmers, it is also due to the continuous increase in the supply of graduates in CS related majors and the outsourcing of development needs by American companies to lower cost countries such as India. More than 20 years ago, when the Internet emerged, it also replaced many jobs (such as newspaper editor, store salesperson, typist), but later there was a larger demand for new jobs (such as software development, new media operation, data analysis, e-commerce practitioners, etc.). Twenty years later, some of these positions are being rapidly replaced by AI. Will the AI industry bring more demand for new positions this time?
