That’s assuming that the tools should be able to replace juniors. I have a hard time seeing how a junior could take over the role which Claude code currently fills in my line of work and certainly not at the same price point even if I paid for the tokens rather than a subscription. |

At the current, VC-subsidized price point, sure. But at the real market cost at which the AI companies would break even on their offerings, the junior is cheaper and more effective than Claude within about 3 months. And to be blunt, if that's not the case then the kind of programming you do is already basically junior-level development anyways and it's a waste to have seniors handing the role that could and should be handled by juniors.
