That’s not really an either or situation, you can have 7 team members with Claud Code and 1 Jr without.

I’ve seen many people stick around for a surprising amount of time while severely under compensated. I suspect that’s why HR does it.

What’s the use of the junior? You have just widen the gap between mid and junior developers making them less useful

Working on problems that are a poor fit for a mid level developer with AI assistance of which there are still plenty.

I find AI tools make everyone better at exactly the same kind of problems, which means a larger percentage of what’s left over is more cheaply done by Jr’s working without AI assistance.
