Reddit CEO Steve Huffman feels AI won’t impact entry level jobs for new graduates

Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman believes AI will increase engineer productivity by 50-100% but not affect entry-level jobs for new graduates.
Huffman emphasized that AI is evolving rapidly, and companies like Reddit currently face bottlenecks due to the need for more code reviews and deployment as productivity has grown.
Huffman stated that AI will not reduce headcounts but instead lead to scaling teams and creating more projects on platforms like Reddit.

Huffman highlighted the importance of hiring new graduates early because of their value and the fear that they may no longer be on the job market due to rising costs.
