Podcast: Will AI Replace Entry-Level Coding Jobs?
ComputerWorld, Monday, April 20th, 2026
Keith Shaw explores whether generative AI will replace entry-level coders with experts from Skillsoft and Tabnine.
In this episode of Today in Tech, host Keith Shaw discusses with Murali Sastry (Skillsoft) and Eran Yanav (Tabnine) whether generative AI will replace mid-level software engineers and entry-level coders.
While companies like Meta suggest automation may replace mid-level engineers, the guests argue that AI will actually increase demand for skilled engineers who can supervise AI tools and solve business problems. The conversation covers how entry-level hiring has slowed due to AI fears, the importance of maintaining junior engineer development, and the mindset shift required for engineers to effectively manage AI-generated code.
