In all seriousness though I do worry for the future of juniors. All the things that people criticise LLMs for, juniors do too. But if nobody hires juniors they will never become senior
This is completely tangential but I think juniors will always be capable of things that LLMs aren’t. There’s a human component to software that I don’t think can be replaced without human experience. The entire purpose of software is for humans to use it. So since the LLM has never experienced using software while being a human, there will always be a divide. Therefore, juniors will be capable of things that LLMs aren’t.
Idk, I might be missing a counterpoint, but it makes sense to me.

The good news is that once AI replaces humans for everything, there will be no need to produce software (or anything else) for humans and AI will be out of work.

Sounds like a Union is a good thing. Apprenticeship programs.
Something tells me Meta and Amazon won’t take kindly to any unionization.
