I really hope this thread is wrong.

In 5 years, the Junior pipeline will be completely dry.

Seniors will be retiring.

Companies will be floundering.

We'll see a great correction where we need workers again.

Programmers/SE/etc... will be needed again. Always were needed, but at least managers will realize it again.

The companies seem to truly believe they will just have a handful of devs at that point manning large pools of AI agents. I doubt it though!
