You're assuming that there is a large number of junior devs waiting for the opportunity to learn.
What if you have the opposite - a large number of relatively simple bugs waiting to get fixed and not enough junior devs do the work?
I think Sweep is a great idea and all of the additional developer capacity will be greedily soaked up by understaffed organisations.
How well it works will depend on how good those pull requests are. If it takes too much time of senior developers to review the pull requests then that is a problem.
- williamzeng0 3y agoI really agree with the second point. Even if there are enough junior devs, there's small issues where you're on the go and delegating is relatively expensive as the expected turn-around time is generally in the hours. Often times I would just do it myself, but then it burns part of the stamina. Also we're trying to make reviewing easier with webpage previews and automated testing through Github actions.
