Junior software developers will still have careers, they'll just have to learn a slightly different skillset that involves more reviewing of code, like a senior developer already does.

Before sometime hits merge, they need to understand if the code meets all requirements, and it doesn't really matter who or what wrote the code in the PR.

They will be reviewing the unit test written by TestGPT for the code written by CodeGPT.
Until ReviewGPT takes over.
But we’ve automated away their job, why were they hired to exist learn the skills?

The demand for engineers, and therefore junior engineers, will be reduced. That is the goal.
