It is the layer most often named as replaceable, the layer with the least evidence behind it, and the layer with the most people to compare against. This post separates what is observation from what is prediction in the claim that AI does junior work, then argues that the real problem is not work disappearing but the ladder to senior not yet having been redesigned. It closes with the order a person still has to learn in, and with the way convenient paths quietly remove the ladder. Part 5 of the Career Anxiety series.
