The problem this time around is that companies think junior developers can be replaced with AI. This is delusion. Some think they can replace senior developers with AI. This is LSD heroic dose delusion.
These delusions will work themselves out in a few years, after a very painful burst bubble, but right now it means junior developers aren't getting hired. In 10 years, there will be a shortage of senior developers because all the missing juniors now will translate into missing seniors then.
Yeah the same thing happened with the dot com bubble.They didn't try to replace junior developers with ai, they just gave them pool tables in lieu of having any plan at all! When I graduated there were very few jobs in programming at all, and those that were were flooded by people with a lot more experience than a new graduate.We'll get through it this time too
10 years from now I’ll have 16 years of experience. Bring on the senior shortage, I’ll milk it for a decade and retire at 50 hopefully.
