I don’t know how seniors will cope. You seem to have a solid understanding that you can make use of AI. But most seniors on HN struggle with basic tasks using AI. Juniors are likely to out pace them quickly. But potentially without the experience or understanding.

They cope just fine. If you’re thinking about stubborn ‘AI is just a statical parrot’ folks, IME it takes just one interaction where it clicks and nothing is the same afterwards. Perhaps we need GPT-5 or Gemini 3 for some of those people, but that’s what, a year out? Or a month? Juniors need experience to know if the machine is going in the right direction or guide it. That experience is now nigh impossible to get, nobody has the time for apprentices now. It’ll take some brave management to pave a way forward, we don’t know what it’ll be exactly yet.
