提问 HN:近期科技行业的裁员主要影响的是资深开发者还是初级开发者?
1 分•作者: bubbamack•大约 1 个月前
我一直听说,根据一些传闻,由于“人工智能提高生产力”,科技行业的裁员似乎主要针对资深/年长的(也就是工资高的)开发者和初级/应届毕业生开发者。背后的逻辑大概是“我们必须削减成本,保持精简,但没关系,因为人工智能能让我们用更少的人完成更多的工作。” 如果这真的是为了削减成本,用更少的人完成更多的工作,我更愿意保留资深和初级开发者的组合——并在这些级别之间以及非工程产品团队中进行调整。<p>我想知道,裁掉初级开发者是否是为了避免年龄歧视相关的诉讼?<p>大家在这里看到了什么,听到了什么?

I keep hearing, anecdotally, that tech layoffs due to "AI productivity gains" seemed to targer senior/older (ie expensive) devs and jr/recent-grad devs, and the rational is something like "we gotta cut costs and be lean but it's cool cuz AI makes us get more done with less." If it really is about cutting costs and getting more done with less then I would rather keep a mix of Sr and Jr devs - and trim between those levels and non-engineering product teams.<p>I wonder if Jr devs were let go to blunt lawsuits around age-discrimination?<p>What are people here seeing or hearing?
