short by Vaishnavi Mishra / on Friday, 9 January, 2026
Zoho Co-founder Sridhar Vembu, in an X post, flagged concerns surrounding the replacement of junior engineer roles by AI. "AI makes senior architects more productive and reduces…need for junior engineers…But if we don't have junior engineers, we don't get to train…next generation of architects," he wrote. "How does someone become…software architect without being a junior engineer first?" he added.
