请问HN:最近的科技裁员主要影响的是高级和初级开发人员吗?
我听到一些传闻,关于由于“人工智能生产力提升”而导致的科技行业裁员似乎主要针对资深/年长(即成本高)开发者和初级/应届毕业生开发者,理由大致是“我们需要削减成本,保持精简,但没关系,因为人工智能让我们能用更少的资源完成更多的工作。”如果真的是为了削减成本和提高效率,我宁愿保留资深和初级开发者的组合,并在这些层级之间以及非工程类产品团队中进行裁减。
我在想,是否是因为裁掉初级开发者可以减轻关于年龄歧视的诉讼风险?
大家在这里看到或听到的是什么?

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?
