This has led me to wonder if this is the last generation of "senior" devs. The thinking goes, if it takes a couple of years to educate and train a junior dev on average and LLMs can increasingly replace junior devs... There is no need for a company to hire junior devs, starving the ecosystem of talent that would have otherwise gone onto becoming senior.

In a world where the average work is the first to be displaced (due to training data availability), the last to be replaced are the ones furthest from distribution mean...
