Web News: It’s Over For Junior Developers.

from HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers Hosted by Matt Lawrence and Mike Karan

Junior developers are facing one of the toughest job markets in years. Memes of CS grads lining up for a single position might be funny online, but they reflect a harsh reality—AI is boosting senior developer productivity and shrinking opportunities for entry-level roles. Meanwhile, tighter deadlines and post-layoff workloads mean fewer seniors have time to mentor newcomers. In this edition of the Web News, we discuss what’s really happening to junior developers in today’s tech industry and what aspiring devs can do to survive - and even thrive - through it.
