This may be a cynical take, but as someone with 10+ years of experience why should I care if companies are too short sighted to value and train juniors?

To twist another saying: "Employers can be short-sighted for longer than I can delay my rent payment."

Why would their rent payment be affected in any way? They aren't a junior

You're framing it like they're making a mistake, so if they are, yeah that's not good for you either.

Idk though, really seems like the "AI layoffs" are just corps shedding headcount bloat accumulated in 2020-23.

It would actually be good for us…

I never understood why software engineers were so excited about open source and teaching everyone to code.

Why aren‘t we more like doctors or lawyers?

Because they have professional bodies that act as gatekeepers.

Because they like to monetize their worth.

Sure. Why give a shit about anything really.

Where do you draw the line on that attitude? Do you not care about global warming because in your lifetime, you're probably not going to experience an unsurvivable wet bulb temperature where you happen to live?

I draw the line at things that directly impact my net worth.

Correct. I don’t care about global warming or climate change.

I suppose that makes a change from it's not happening or it is happening but it isn't man made or it is man made but we can't do anything about it.

So you don't care about things that indirectly affect your net worth? Credit score? Your overall health? How many friends you have?

Do you believe in ethics or morality?

If I decide you're having a negative impact on my net worth, can I come to your home and shoot you in the head?

It seems we need a remedial class in morality here, where we work up to you understanding the golden rule. But perhaps you're not capable of understanding that. Is euthanizing you then the only option?

What kind of hillbilly retarded comment compares murder with global warming?

That is a really interesting admission upon which to evaluate your other comments here…

Because eventually you'll get to the point where you've too much work to do and there's not enough people to delegate it to.

Hope you like being overworked!

It's a self-solving problem, though. At that point, every remaining senior+ engineer will be paid a bajillion dollars (like they are now) and companies will start to invest in actual training.
