I thought senior dev roles are more valuable now?

AI has crushed junior hiring, but I feel like senior devs are getting squeezed too.

I'm a full stack dev/engineer with around 20 YOE (classic ASP to VB to .NET to PHP to JS/TS modern tooling/frameworks), and looking for a job right now. I expected that experience to be an advantage, but it hasn't felt that way. Then I see reels of developers sitting on their phones, waiting for AI agents to finish their work, bored and scrolling. I can't help but think: you have no idea how lucky you are.

I'd love to have the problem of being bored because AI is doing too much of my work. /s

Any senior devs here in the same situation right now? How did you get through it? I'd really appreciate any advice. I have very few friends and network, very shy to ask them because I'm not the person they'd think to be in this position.
