My experience has been slightly different. AI seems to be leveling the playing field, just like how google maps flattened the field allowing all and sundry to become cab drivers in any city. Knowing all the city routes, traffic choke points etc. is no longer a "skill". I am now seeing previously clueless Indian developers, delivering not so bad software solutions, obviously with copious help from AI (Claude code in our specific case). The result? More software development/testing jobs are moving to India, thanks to AI. Anyone retiring or leaving the org for whatever reason, is being replaced by an Indian. While there is a hiring freeze in the western hemisphere (thankfully no layoffs yet).
