If your job is just turning Jira tickets into GitHub PRs, AI is coming for you 🤖
Mid-level developers fear AI replacing them-and for good reason. Anyone doing purely mechanical code translation is at high risk.
Why AI automation is causing internal resistance in tech teams:
▫️ High replacement risk – Translating tickets to pull requests is easily automated 📉
▫️ Resistance to adoption – Engineers push back on integrating AI tools to protect their roles 🛡️
▫️ Management ripple effect – Fewer devs means less need for team leads and project managers 🌊
Igor Gulamov from SavantChat breaks down the reality of AI replacing mid-level developers and management roles.
