> And that’s what really drives me nuts: when that particularly stubborn junior dev does the same mistake for the 3rd time, you get coachy for a minute, make sure they learn, and that actually helps them level up. Clankers don’t learn. They can’t, because the underlying technology cannot learn.

This is why I left IT and went for an EE degree program. I actually enjoy helping people to grow, I always did. (I've had a colorful career involving a lot of different industries, so chances are high I might have picked up a few things here and there)

But when there are no juniors any more, only clankers, what the fuck is even my purpose other than making money for some American slave drivers uhhh shareholders.
