Depends.

If you're switching jobs just for more money and don't get any useful experience or skills along they way, effectively coasting along and becoming a junior with X years of experience, then yes you can be replaced.

However, if you're smart and a little bit selective, making sure to only job hop to gigs that provide some challenge and growth opportunities, not just going with every recruiter that promises you more $$$, then the skills you'll develop and pick up should guarantee that no junior can easily replace you.

My $0.02.




Yeah I think in a similar way

The market is filled with "Juniors with X yrs experience". Even 10, 20 yrs experience. No kidding.

A lot of newer developers are more accustomed to copy-pasting React stuff from SO. Which is fine, but it doesn't solve all problems.

That's how you end up with people that only know how to deploy stuff using Docker containers (which, again, is fine for most situations).

At some point the grown-ups have to show up. Can you be the grown-up?
