I think juniors will still be needed, but it will help juniors to code more efficiently. I wrote another blog post about possible use cases for Copilot. You can check it out here: dev.to/github/why-use-github-copil...

I get what you're saying.

However..
Copilot can't write code without knowledge behind it. Copilot is more like stack overflow than someone who is thinking for us. You still have to think about code and understand what you're writing and why to use Copilot. Copilot just provides added context and suggestions. Also, Copilot is not ALWAYS accurate.
