In your fictional world you hire a junior who will write code manually, right?

First , I interview people, Junior skills in manual coding dropped sharply this year. These are people who started they school manual and switched mid-course. In two years there will be no such people.

well, that will never happened anymore in this world unless we will go back to caves, especially for juniors. Junior that writes good code is already a dying unicorn.

The outcome will be ... you will hire a junior ... who will burn more tokens, and chances of mistakes with less expensive model, less tokens are even higher.

Puh not good signs at all.

I mean even the normal people we get in interviews have no clue, like 80% are just ignorant.

I stoped an interview after 5 minutes: when i asked what ls -ahl is doing, he started telling me how he vibe/ai codes stuff and thats his workflow. Okay if you don't know the basics, guess what? everyone can replace you or at least i'm not hiring you (i only told him thats not what we are looking for and thanked him)

we are doomed :D

I'm interviewing juniors. Their manual skills drops sharply, and that's for people who went to school in manual age, and maybe last year it stopped to be manual. Lets see what will be in a year or two lol

At this point do you even need to hire any juniors at all? It seems like there's a heavy reliance on AI agents and LLM especially for juniors. Is hiring a warm body that sits on a chair and prompts at a computer a good use of money?

		yes, and no. Everybody is trying to hunt junior unicorn, They exist , but the ratio is 1 out 30. For these people, AI is a real elevator of their career.
