I wouldn't count yourself out just because you are a junior. Companies love hiring junior devs because their salaries are the lowest. It's senior devs that should be worried.

I've yet to see any programming jobs replaced due to AI. Writing code is only half the job; understanding a company's existing tech stack, API's, internal struggles, business needs, etc, and figuring out how to implement what the business wants are all important. AI will still have a hard time with these things for a while yet.

This sounds right but it isn't, at least in my experience. Most fresh junior devs need a whole lot of hand holding to get even the basic stuff done; particularly in a codebase that isn't that great. There are some junior devs that are just natural stars, but they are few and far between.
