I actually kinda think ai will help with this, in a roundabout way.

I think of AI as a kind of floor, a minimum required skill to be able to get a job as a professional anything. If you want to find paid work as a developer, you have to at least be better than AI at the job.

Optimistically AI will filter out all the helpless Devs who can't get anything done from the job market. "Code monkeys" won't be a thing.

Juniors will have to enter unpaid trainee programs I guess, but that might not be such a bad thing
