I don't agree that copilot will hurt junior hiring; Co-pilot is just a tool that even juniors can use to make them productive even quicker. In fact, I think it will allow juniors to contribute faster and for high-school drop outs, code bootcamp grads or single moms to get hired more easily since instead of a steep learning curve, copilot allows them to quickly produce. I'd agree with the argument if there was no such thing as entropy and senior developers were a static resource that didn't depreciate but every company is going to need new blood just because the seniors are eventually going to retire or move to different companies for their own growth. The big appeal of juniors is usually low salary and willingness to work long hours and so juniors will often be attractive to companies.
