What does junior or senior have anything to do with it ? I would think a smarter junior will run circles around a dumber senior engineer with LLM autocomplete.

If you’re hiring dumb senior engineers you’re holding it wrong lol. Using LLMs is a lot like delegating to a team from a skills perspective, so it favors extensive domain knowledge. You don’t just commit whatever it writes, just like you wouldn’t commit what a junior dev writes without scrutiny. Experience makes that scrutiny more valuable and effective.
