It seems possible that AI could be a partial coach to Junior Developers at each step. Currently, it seems like AI can more and more make a non coder into a coder, which might help get things built that never would be, and existing coders into a 10-20x coder.

    Junior develops love to be coached on the job by those more senior until they get more skills and leave, so employers are already often paying and hoping an employee sees past 1 year of receiving value and investment in them before taking off.
