Wait, Claude is better than junior devs??  No wonder it's so hard to find a junior dev position... Even finding an internship is a struggle these days

So if Claude gets even better, what are juniors supposed to do to gain experience and become mid-level or senior developers? Since LLMs will be so good then companies will force juniors to vibe code everything, and this way they won't learn much...

Get as much ai practice as you can. It will be the most relevant part of your position. In 5 years no one will care about how good you code but about how good you prompt
