I think of it as not needing juniors for boring work, all you need as a company is seniors and AI.
- sterlind 5y agowithout juniors, how do you get more seniors?
- spaced-out 5y agoMaybe programmers will adopt a similar model to artists and musicians. Do a lot of work for free/practically nothing hoping that some day you can make it "big" and land a full time role.
- kyawzazaw 5y agowe already have that with unpaid interns and PhD students
- Jeff_Brown 5y agoAnd most people who consider the job are driven away by the economics of it.
- ganzuul 5y agoThat is already the recommendation. Pick an open source project and contribute.
- 9dev 5y agoSo where do these seniors come from?
- failuser 5y agoThat’s beyond the planning horizon.
- Dylan16807 5y agoYou could have a much smaller pool of juniors/journeymen that are focused on maximum learning rather than amount of output.
