“We hear that the job market for junior software developers is dead, while the market for senior ones is thriving. I do not dispute this, I dispute the interpretation of it. It is completely unrelated to AI. Here is why: junior devs are supposed to be “AI natives” while senior developers are supposed to be gatekeeping against AI. That’s what we’re told and that many parrot. It makes no sense, if it were AI, the market would favor juniors.” Link
