> Where are young developers less productive than their seniors? This is not supposed to be taken as something to be defensive about. Some subset of juniors don't have a clue about the things they don't have a clue and learn as they go, making mistakes along the way that they then need to maintain. Some juniors also compensate by working long hours. But the thing is that these things are also true for some seniors, just as the opposite observations are true of both some juniors and some seniors. The point is precisely that things are more equal than they are different when you are looking at age demographics and you actually consider that any demographic group has a wide spread in terms of competence, willingness to put long hours, and even experience.
