Reports of AI eating entry level jobs are greatly exaggerated. My guess is current and near-future LLMs are more likely to increase the demand for programmers, not decrease demand (Jevons Paradox).

But, plot twist: The much-discussed contraction in entry-level tech hiring appears to have *reversed* in recent months. In fact, relative to the pre-generative AI era, recent grads have secured coding jobs at the same rate as they’ve found any job, if not slightly higher.

I agree! But I don't think (just based off friends, colleagues, personal experience, etc. not empirically backed up), that maybe there is a lot less tolerance to hiring mid year engineers and be willing to let them “learn on the job”
