There have been people entering the profession for (purported) money and not love of the craft for at least as long as the 20 years I've been in it. So long as there are also people who still genuinely enjoy it and take pride in doing the job well, then the junior->expert pipeline isn't lost.

I buy that LLMs may shift the proportion of those two camps. But doubt it will really eliminate those who genuinely love building things with code.

I'm not sure it takes more than a shift, though. There aren't 0 people in training to be a doctor, but we have a shortage for sure and it causes huge problems.
