Summary
A detailed argument that senior engineers will become the next bottleneck as AI automates junior work. The author advocates building internal senior capacity through mentorship and a branching, scalable model (one senior mentoring three juniors who each mentor others) to hedge against future shortages, while maintaining hands-on engineering. The piece blends strategic industry analysis with a concrete development plan for growing talent in an agent-enabled era.
