> just admit it, interns are struggling competing with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex

They are not. This is false, zirp ended, this is the problem. Not LLMs.

Of course primary cause could be ZIRP, but AI definitely accelerated the problem.

Interns at big tech maybe impacted less, because their systems are so complex, but when I look at job boards or talk with engineers I see they're mentioning interns less, AI assisted coding more.

Bar for the interns is higher now, why do I need 3 interns to polish the product if I can complete 70% of the job with AI and hire 1 intern to fix other parts

I know from a dev bootcamp that you are certainly wrong.

However, I also think ai coding is hyped way beyond its capability.
