It seems like you're making a point of outrage of something that's evident. If you hire way more than the market was used to, you'll hire less qualified people, and unless tooling is better to replace the reduced skills and experience, lower quality software will be produced. I agree OP was doing a lot of drama about "noobs ruining everything" which is also a stretch, but this negative effect should be self evident.
- cipheredStones 4y agoIt's not actually self-evident: even if you take for granted that less-qualified people get hired, that could mean that companies invest more in training, or that the marginal bit of software is equally good but slower to produce than if more-qualified engineers had written it (because it took more code reviews and produced more technical debt along the way), etc. Besides, that's barely pertinent to my point, which is that if you see bugs, you can probably blame them on engineers, but if you see design and product choices you don't like, attributing it to "noob" programming is bizarre.
