Probably a bit ambitious, but I do see a future not too far off where junior and mid-tier developer roles basically disappear.

  Thing is that experiencde programmers must start at "junior" like any other...

    You’re not wrong, but there’s a glut of junior developer talent at the moment that there’s no shortage of folks to take on those most senior roles. This this is a “tomorrow” problem that (for better or worse) will get ignored for now

    I suppose the question is whether the only way to educate good programmers is for them to spend time as a (possibly net-negative) apprentice in an enterprise job. Perhaps under the watchful and patient gaze of future AIs, they're able to blossom earlier, perfect their skills on open source, and enter into the workforce ready not to cause chaos. Personally I'd love the alternative version of the future where LLMs do all the bullshit (meetings, alignment, planning) and then seniors feel far less stress and pressure and rejoice in being able to spend time raising up their fellow humans. Not sure either outcome is likely though.
