It's really sad state programmers (especially juniors) are in right now, I guess it will get worse over time. I had a meeting with recruiters in my university, many of em just said to me send email and useless stuff that don't go anywhere but couple of em said they're don't even hire developers anymore and make AI do the entire job (I went on one of their websites and it didn't work :)). Also hackathons are really in bad state, most of em advertise ai and vibe coding, idk how anyone can learn from hackathons in this state they are in
