Fair point, and I appreciate your comment. I’ve been speaking from the perspective of someone already working in the field, but let me offer another angle.
Outside of coding, I’m also a new blogger and writer trying to publish articles and novels in a world already flooded with AI-generated content.
In that sense, I’m in a similar position to a junior dev, just in a different domain. As I seriously consider shifting more into writing than coding, I know I’ll be facing similar competitive pressures with AI. Honestly, I have no idea where that road will lead.
What I do know is that I’ll try to take advantage of every tool and opportunity available to help me succeed. For junior devs, I’d say: keep knocking on doors and focus on how AI can support your employer, not threaten either party.
Funny enough, just a few weeks ago I watched an "AI expert" with no real dev experience sell a vision full of buzzwords to business leaders, and they ate it up. Hats off to him. It reminded me that today, it's not just about skills anymore. It’s about how you communicate, connect, and present your value.
Sharpen your communication and people skills. Like it or not, AI is rapidly taking over the technical part. We have to stand out in the human part.
Just my two cents. And for the record, please know that I don’t consider myself an expert in any of this, just speaking from experience and opinions.
Hope it helps and good luck!
