Glad we were never "juniors" either, nor would we ever hire them. Here is the reason:

We just layoff the expensive engineers and offshore all our work to very cheap remote staff engineers (at least 2 in Mumbai), give them the Claude chatbot to do the work of 20 engineers.

So now we have reduced our costs by 90%. No need for juniors at all.

What's with these attitudes?

The world is changing rapidly. There's a very large chance you and nobody else here will have a software job.

You are not going far enough given that the world is changing faster than you can hire seniors.

So why wait? Why not go further by spinning up hundreds of Claude agents without the need to hire any engineers? You just manage them.

Or even at least offshore that job to a very cheap staff engineer with more cost savings?
