I might be wrong, but to me junior dev are just senior dev in the making, employers know that. The junior dev will continue to exist as long as employers need senior devs.

Now maybe Devs will completely disappear in the near (or far) future, but I don't think you can remove one if you still need the other.

Unless AI can read the minds of product owners, then developers aren't going anywhere.

The cryptic dribble that passes for user stories in many organisations is shocking.
