WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) - When Eric Lauer needs to hire at Giftory, the online gift-giving platform he runs, he's no longer looking for eager young coders fresh out of college.
He wants "mid-career people who are lazy in a smart way" -- experienced developers he calls architects who know how to wield artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools to multiply their output rather than write every line from scratch.
"To be an architect, you need that previous world experience, and you need to know all the workflows," Lauer told Agence France-Presse (AFP). Candidates with "no knowledge whatsoever of the workflows" are "a lot less appealing for an organisation like ours."
