The tech industry faces a significant crisis for junior developers, with job openings plummeting and many resorting to "vibe coding," a practice that relies on AI to generate code without learning fundamental programming skills. This trend risks producing a generation of pseudo-developers who lack the ability to debug, understand, or maintain their applications, ultimately making them vulnerable in a competitive job market. The reliance on AI tools has been shown to decrease productivity and create substantial technical debt, leading to a skills degradation crisis among new developers.
