>Now a junior can ask an AI like 90% of questions that would otherwise occupy a senior:

And how does a Junior in this kind of work gain the skills that transitions them to senior?

>I hear a lot of CEO hype posts saying junior devs are outdated, but idk it doesn’t make any sense to me!

well yes, they aren't making sense. Hence why I think this is all a bubble. Irrational markets and all that.

I don't know when it will burst, but even tech companis can't reject reality forever.



> And how does a Junior in this kind of work gain the skills that transitions them to senior?

Um - by asking AI 90% of the time, and the senior 10% of the time. If anything, the senior can now mentor 10x the number of juniors.
