I just wonder if they won't run out of seniors in some years? I mean no new juniors also means no new serniors right?

Yes. That is a question many people are asking. No/less juniors could be a real issue and we don't know what impact it will have on the software development industry.

I gues sit's like in the movies.

It's 2038

The scene shows an unshaved man cleaning the bottom of a boat

Ond day an expensive car arrive and two men sith wuits sunglasses stept out. They approach him. And ask about his job.

"I used to work at a burger jount, then I got in to uber driving and now I'm scraping shells off boats"

"We heard you used to be a junior dev."

"Yes but I left because of AI nobody hired young devs! That was a long time ago, I am a different man now!"

"We want you to come back. We need you."

"What for."

"A senior devs got old and died. We need you to replace him. THERE'S NOONE ELSE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

"I'll think about it!"

I think super intelligence would mean there would be no more use for humans

Maybe as pets?
