They'll be the ones begging and cajoling LLMs to write the code.
Notice that even these days, senior devs aren't supposed to code much - they're supposed to train up junior devs, up to the point said juniors become competent, at which point the juniors join the rank of seniors and begin to teach fresh junior hires.
I.e. increasingly, juniors are the only people actually coding anything, and LLMs will only reinforce this trend.

Some of the shittiest code comes out of developers with this level of experience, but they're senior now and teach fresh junior hires?
