If AI makes junior developers "better" than senior developers then what stops senior developers from adopting the tools and becoming once again better than the juniors?

They are older and learn slower, they also learned a lot of biases over the years. They are often unwilling to accept major changes to workflow.

Maybe the second sentence is true but

> They are older and learn slower, they also learned a lot of biases over the years

Hasn’t this been disproven time and time again. And research has shown continuous learning helps to prevent or delay cognitive decline.

I don't see why that would contradict my statement. Yes learning is good, but it becomes harder as we age.

Wow, I rarely see such unwarranted confidence in such a blatantly wrong statement.

[Abroszka]

It's basically true for every profession. We even have a word for it, we call it wise. They built up an experience that they rely on during decision making and produce good results. Changing that is hard.
