Are Junior Developers Screwed?

That is a MASSIVE point that companies don't understand. NO ONE ever starts as a senior engineer. They are made. They are the juniors and entry level that become senior engineers in the company. But that won't happen if these entry level and juniors aren't hired. It's going to hurt all companies a lot in the long run.

If you are in it for the long game, you are fine.

LLMs are just libraries 2.0 -- we had the same threats of libraries replacing all developer jobs then too and job growth exploded. LLMs are not the reason for junior dev positions drying up, access to cheap capital is since interest rates are so high.

Being a software engineer is great at this moment! Every six months, some company in California releases a groundbreaking product that possibly kills my career. That is a wonderful experience which never happens in any other area of expertise.

I loved the “If my grandma had wheels she would have been a bike” joke reference

As people says on Intel: "Thanks Steve! Back to you Steve!"

A lot of companies have gone the "AI" route (Actually Indians). Been seeing a decent amount of offshoring pickup
