Junior Developers in the Age of AI

Just as software finished eating the world, zero interest rates ended. Companies optimized for cash and slowed hiring. The market didn't shrink, but stopped growing at the breakneck pace we all expected. The result: a glut of entry level talent groomed for jobs that never materialized. This would explain a more competitive entry level market. But it doesn't explain the entry-level market shrinking, despite overall industry growth. In short: demand for senior talent is rising, but has fallen off a cliff for juniors.
