If nobody hires juniors, then where are the seniors supposed to come from?
In a few years, will we need seniors?
Besides morals, you'll always need people in the interface between the computers and the world. Maybe they won't write too much code, but they'll need to specify and verify behaviours anyway.

OK, so I think there is a fair chance it will play out like this: the younger generation won't study CS anymore / learn how to code. Instead, they'll all vibe code. This will lead to a massive increase in demand for seniors to clean…
Before a big shift: “What could possibly go wrong?”
After a big shift and facing unintended consequences: “How were we supposed to know?”

Same after the dot com crash and outsourcing. Give it 5 years and hiring will be back to normal. Give it 10 and salaries will be even more stratospheric because the pipeline is bone dry now.
