I think all of this has a dark future. And this can be argued based on how AI works.

AI systems look at code on the internet that was written by humans. This is smart, clean code. And they learn from it. What they produce — unreadable spaghetti code — is the maximum they can squeeze out of the best code written by humans.

In the near future, AI-generated code will flood the internet, and AI will start training on its own code. On the other hand, juniors will forget how to write good code.

And when these two factors come together in the near future, I honestly don’t know what will happen to the industry.
