Why AI hasn't replaced software engineers, and won't!

AI Didn't Replace Junior Developers. It Replaced Safe Places To Be One.

AI automated the low-risk tasks (CRUD, bug fixes, docs) that historically trained junior developers, forcing companies to require 2-3 years' experience even for entry-level roles. Tech leaders must rethink talent pipelines: without gradual skill development paths, succession planning becomes fragile and scaling teams harder when senior engineers leave.
