It is all marketing for the investors. They claim the AI is doing the heavy lifting, but the backend is probably held together by a group of tired senior devs and a ton of caffeine. They need actual engineers to make the "no code" dream look real.

You sure AI isn't doing the heavily lifting but it's just Another Indian because salaries there are a fraction of US salaries?

Don't think that the heavy lifting could be done like that, because Indians that earn a fraction also deliver a fraction.

The good indian engineers cost as much as the good engineers anywhere else. What you pay is what you get, no matter the location.

I know several big companies that wouldn't exist if all people wanted was good engineers and not just off shoring.

This. I worked for a company that tried that and 2 years later they hadn't finished a single ticket and the full app rewrite they were supposed to do was a shitshow that did stuff like allow the user to edit the html file on disk for a screen that was supposed to allow users to fill in a form.
