Turns out Senior Devs are still needed after all. You could argue its poetic justice of a kind, and it may be the case. But, I also think its part of the reality of the Bubble we are living in. I like AI tools, I know there is no way of putting the cat back in the bag too.
At the end of the day experience wins the day. Maybe that is a small reason to celebrate.

Very good analogy dude - 100% agree with you on that. Without the understanding and developer background you can slap together pretty ugly code. Also 1 prompt is very often not enough - many complex things need multiple follow up improvements until they are really ready.
AI is a tool for many but I also know a lot of developers that refuse to use AI for anything - they even write pretty complex regex patterns themselves. In our company there is a no-AI policy in the dev business unit - glad I am not there and can speed up my mssql queries and other things using claude haha

I've been a developer for many years and things are changing. Where I work it's fairly old-school, but a new generation will come along soon. I may retire in a few years, but I may play with some of the new tools for my own interest.
