[–] Alterlife 7y ago ↗ The flipside of this story is that companies often only hire junior developers for the lower cost.Some companies 10-15 year old companies are composed 80-90% of junior developers, and that's a problem too.
[–] angersock 7y ago ↗ Juniors are wonderful, but they make messes and are a training and maintenance burden on more experienced developers.They really are like puppies, and if your org can't take care of them you shouldn't adopt one.
