Honestly show junior programmers a little more respect. It's such an old person thing to say they're going to all become prompt engineers or similar. Why does the old always look at the young and claim they're all pulled by the tides of the zeitgeist and not thinking human beings who have their own opinions about stuff. Many smart people have a contrarian streak and won't just dive into AI tools wholesale. Honestly a lot of the comments here are at the level of critique as those facebook memes of crowd of people with iphones for faces. Most people have ALWAYS taken the easy road and don't become the best programmers. AI is just the latest tool for lazier people or people who tend towards laziness. We will continue to have new good programmers, and the number of good programmers will continue to be not enough. None of that is not caused by AI. I'm far from an AI advocate, but it will, someday, make the most boring parts of programming less tedious and be able to put "glue" kind of code in non-professional hands.
