Description

Junior developers are facing one of the toughest job markets in years. Memes of CS grads lining up for a single position might be funny online, but they reflect a harsh reality—AI is boosting senior developer productivity and shrinking opportunities for entry-level roles. Meanwhile, tighter deadlines and post-layoff workloads mean fewer seniors have time to mentor newcomers. In this edition of the Web News, we discuss what’s really happening to junior developers in today’s tech industry and what aspiring devs can do to survive - and even thrive - through it.
