Say goodbye to "junior" engineering roles

On today’s episode we chat with Kirimgeray Kirimli, a director at Flatiron Software and CEO of Snapshot Reviews, a tool that measure developer productivity based on activity from Github, Jira, standups, and more. Kirimli explains how Snapshot Reviews tries to measure a developer's true impact, not just the volume of their activity. He also speaks to the growing power of AI coding assistants and suggests "junior engineer" is not likely to be a job available to humans for much longer. https://stackoverflow.blog/2024/06/21/kirimgeray-kirimli-flatiron-software-snapshot-reviews/
