The rise of AI tools like Claude hasn’t just changed our daily git commits—it has completely rewritten the playbook for what makes a great developer and how we build engineering teams. In this fast-paced, 5-minute talk, we will contrast what we used to look for in candidates versus the skills we prioritize now in an AI-driven landscape. We will bust the industry myth that junior engineers are obsolete, and instead explore how their personal growth and onboarding look vastly different today. Finally, you'll get a direct look inside Wix, sharing our internal approach to cultivating the "xEngineer" and how we are actively restructuring our programs to turn entry-level talent into AI-native powerhouses
