He talks about wanting 1 senior for 5 juniors, with most firms having a 1 to 16 ratio. Is it really that bad? Or is the OP's definition of senior someone with 20 years experience?
My experience is that mentorship is 1 to 1. (Just like the Sith!) If you're doing a wide pyramid project, perhaps 1 good engineering manager with tech skills can oversee the work of 2 senior programmers and 2 juniors.

Or has my experience been the exception?
