Goldman Sachs just announced Devin AI as "Employee #1" in their hybrid workforce. Entry-level developer hiring at top 15 tech firms dropped 25%. Recent grads now have HIGHER unemployment than workers without degrees. This isn't about AI taking your job. It's about who companies are choosing to hire instead.

Here's the part that should terrify every junior developer watching this.
